Just because qt is listed in the USE list doesn't mean it will be
installed. It will only be installed if you emerge it or something
that requires it. Having qt in the USE list basically means that any
package that has the option of using Qt will use it.

And Qt really has nothing to do with kde. Qt happens to be used by
KDE, but there are plenty of other, non-kde apps that use Qt, so I'm
not surprised it would appear in the defaults but kde wouldn't.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last question. But you can emerge
anything you want regardless of what shows up in the make.conf.
Make.conf simply defines the settings that portage uses, not the apps
that it installs.
