Yes, konqueror for kde3 will want kdelibs for kde3, which will need qt3.  
FWIW, people on binary distributions don't always seem to be so aware of 
the dependencies... until of course they're no longer available in the new 
versions.

I don't know the context of the claim, but I suspect the reference to 
running kde3 "natively" on kde4, was one of two things.  Either it was a 
reference to apps that are in both (no version number and konqueror is 
still part of kde4, so konqueror still runs natively, but it's konqueror4 
not konqueror3), or it was more generically referring to the ability to 
run apps from one in the environment of the other, similarly to the way 
you can run gtk or gnome apps, or standard X apps, or fltk based apps, or 
tcl/tk apps... etc, under kde4, as long as their requisite dependencies 
(such as kdelibs3 and qt3 for konqueror3, or gtk2 for firefox/icecat) are 
met.
