I dont really understand your question. You upgrade qt like any other 
package, just install/upgrade the rpm package. Alternatively you can 
leave your system alone and just put the new qtlib in a folder and then 
start qtcad with a script that LD_LIBRARY_PATH=folder where qt3.3 lib is 
and then executes qtcad.
It will use a little more memory but at least it leaves your system as 
it is and just lets you try newer versions of qtlib only with qtcad.
