It's nowhere near that much.

The largest modules are 250 MB (koffice, kdelibs), then it quickly drops.

The Linux kernel is right now at 190 MB. And remember that the Qt4 port 
started three and a half years ago, around revision 440000. Meaning about half 
of the revisions today are in the Qt4 lifetime or porting effort.
