I tried to re-emerge PyQt (installed for a previous version of Python before), and it fails with an "Error: The SIP code generator could not be found. Use the -p argument to set the correct program."

Don't know why it cannot find the sip executable on your box - should be in /usr/bin, if sip is installed correctly. I marked newer versions of sip, qscintilla and pyqt stable on x86 today, so if emerge sync && sip qscintilla PyQt works for you, we can close this report.
I don't have the faintest idea, the sip executable was there before. But with the new stable versions everything works fine. (Actually, the app I wanted to test still doesn't fly but that looks like a bug in there :)
