I am using virtualenv to setup a virtual Python environment for exactly the 
same purpose. In addition to this, I ammending the PATH variable to include 
the path to the newer Qt version first. For eric4 a commandline could look 
like 

PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.5.2/bin:$PATH ~/pyqt45env/bin/python 
~/pyqt45env/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/eric4/eric4.py

Note: ~/pyqt45env is my virtual environment set up using virtualenv.
