Yes, but I think nearly all stable versions of the popular distro's ship
both Qt3 and Qt4, mostly qt4 packages carry the 4 in their name.

Unless I'm totally off here, SuSE also ships Qt4 packages when can be
installed side-by-side (without removing that is) with the qt3 packages.
At least it would be very odd if a recent SuSE version wouldn't do this,
as all other major distro's are doing it.
