It doesn't.

  SL6 installed QT and QT3 and QT47 (the package name and all the needed items) refuse to install on top of QT because of conflicts.

They don't seem to want to happily coexist.

So HOPEfully, I didn't break anything too seriously (time will tell) by using RPM to --nodeps erase the packages in question which then allowed me to install QT47... and now I'm running Mythtv. (doing the setup now)
