qt-3.2.1(-r1) is unmasked on ~ppc but it blocks kdelibs-3.1.4.
IMHO it should be masked until kde supports it, otherwise a lot of users will run into problems.

I'm not a member of the Gentoo KDE Team, so my apologies if I'm wrong or
overstepping my bounds or anything.

This is not a bug.

There is a circular block, because kdelibs < 3.1.4 will not function with
qt > 3.2.  Qt-3.2.1 blocks <kdelibs-3.1.4, but upgrading kdelibs first tends
to pull in the qt-3.2.1 upgrade, which prevents the emerge from starting.
 I recommend doing:

emerge --nodeps arts kdelibs -u && emerge qt -u && emerge arts kdelibs
 
which will allow you to successfully upgrade both QT and kdelibs.

HTH.

Nope, you're right.  This is the desired behavior.
