indeed, opera uses the qt toolkit so it depends on it and requires it
workaround: echo "www-client/opera static" >> /etc/portage/package.use emerge opera this is really counter-intuitive. Since opera seems to be linked against qt, maybe the "static" flag should be forced by the ebuild if "qt" is not set.
