Please attach ouput of the command with --debug enabled.

The debug output shows that it's being pulled in as dependencies of packages that are already installed. If you add the --emptytree option then the output should make more sense.
The --debug output shows that all the qt dependencies are conditional on USE="qt3", so if you add -qt3 to you flags then it should no longer get pulled in.
Well I know how to solve my problem the idea for bug report is that emerge -uDpv --tree does not show which package triggers install of x11-libs/qt. I think that is purpose of --tree flag or I'm missing something?
Normally, it only shows packages that would be installed. Like I said before, you can use --emptytree to see all packages.
I don't agree In my example: samba does not needed to be installed [nomerge] same for openldap So, why then these packages appears in output? At least this is confusing as nor samba, nor openldap depends directly of x11-libs/qt
Actually, --tree is meant to show the already-installed-packages that are causing package installs/upgrades as well. The "nomerge" entries in the OP are examples of this but for some reason it's not working correctly in this case. The known case of when it doesn't work is with PDEPENDs - caused by the parent not being added to the graph.

The current --tree display algorithm focuses on a linear ordering of nodes that is arbitrary in many cases due to the non-linear structure of the dependency tree. It think the fix for this bug will be a new algorithm that displays every single relationship in the dependency tree, showing each node multiple times if necessary.
