I don't know if this will help you or not but on my system I have the 1.44 
libs in /usr/lib with libqt.so pointing to 1.44 libs and my QT2 dir as 
/usr/lib/qt2 and have symlinks for libqt.so.2 pointing to the QT2 dir i.e
link libqt.so.2 points to /usr/lib/qt2/lib/libqt.so.2.2.0 and haven't noticed 
any bad effects.

Just tried configuring KDevelop to make a kde1 type app.
I had to set --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib and --prefix=/usr along with
setting KDEDIR to /usr. 

I hacked configure to set KDEDIR=/usr and it worked for configuring

So this is what I have done
In configure I added
KDEDIR=/usr
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt
MOC=/usr/bin/moc  

I am not sure you couldn't configure this differently but I can make a KDE 1 
mini app and compile/link OK 

I also have done the 
KDEDIR=/usr
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt
MOC=/usr/bin/moc  
export KDEDIR QTDIR MOC
/usr/bin/kdevelop
as a shell script and it works for me.
