Does it happen after an 'emerge sync'?
After emerge sync, I get the same error until: !!! ERROR: x11-libs/qt-3.3.4-r4 failed. !!! Function pkg_setup, Line 64, Exitcode 1 !!! Unknown compiler c++. !!!

Are you setting CXX from something different than default?
I'm not sure this is what you mean, but in /etc/make.conf I've got CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}".
I can confirm that in my /etc/make.conf I had the following lines: CC="gcc" CXX="c++" And when I commented out these lines, the error appears to have gone away. But this SHOULD NOT have happened to begin with. In the bin directory that gcc uses by default there are symlinks called gcc and c++ that link to the standard executables (which were called i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++ and i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc respectively).
You should not set those values, just let emerge take the right gcc if you're not going to use something different like icc. If you set those values, ebuilds can't be sure that you're using g++ and so fails (c++ is too much a generic name).
