You do not have the correct repository enabled. For X_64 you need the 
"Everything" repo to get qt-MySQL

The repo url needs to look like 
.../fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/      instead of
.../fedora/linux/releases/8/Feoora/x86_64/os/Packages/


Note that the name of this package name is *qt-MySQL* case sensitive and 
NOI *qt3-MySQL* as reported by the dependency check. Not too helpful.

Meanwhile the version 4 package is *qt4-mysql*..also case sensitive.
Ahh who cares about consistency!

If you open up your fedora mirror in a browser, you can see all of the 
packages, and then use yum to install from the command line, picking 
only the ones you need.
