Binary compatibility is an issue (problem) in the MS Windows world.
Until Qt 3.x.x is source-compatible with previous releases, I do not see any 
problem here.
I upgraded my KDE/Qt via packages (RPMs) about 20 times, within last 2 years.
And no any majr problem, so far.
Every time I install new kdelibs, RPM reminds me that I need newer Qt (if I 
need new Qt)
New Qt3 is just 2.5MB download, much smaller than kdelibs or kdebase.
So, where is the problem?

What do you mean "to choose between Qt 3.1 and KDE 3.1"
KDE runs on top of Qt so far :-)
