I can't say where redhat installs their release of qt, but if you found 
libqt-mt.so in /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib, then set your $QTDIR to 
/usr/lib/qt-3.0.5.

This is confirming that libqt-mt.so cannot be found. If you inspect 
config.log, you can find more information as to why any particular test 
failed. This can be more useful.

Your KDEDIR should reflect the base kde directory where you wish to install. 
The easiest thing to do if you do not have a customised machine is to do 
./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR
