do "emerge info" to make sure that the USE flags in use are actually what you 
think they are. also make sure that QT *is* built with mysql support. maybe 
you changed your USE flags after you built QT? if you emerge -pv qt (or 
whatever the packages are) with a recent version of emerge it will show you 
what it will do. in will also show you what USE flags it will apply 
(including changed one since it was last built).

also go into /usr/local/portage/media-tv/mythtv-cvs and type "ebuild 
mythtv-cvs-20041230.ebuild compile", wait until it has configured and started 
to compile (this is what i do, maybe there is a better way), then halt that 
and go into /var/tmp/portage/mythtv-cvs-20041230/work/mythtv and have a look 
at what the ebuild did to the settings.pro

here is the output of emerge info on my machine:

hope this is of some help
