it would be *qt3-*-devel, the only one of which that ships with the 3 CD's 
being:

    Mandrake/RPMS2/libqt3-devel-3.0.5-7mdk.i586.rpm

This (from the 2nd CD) contains 3140 files including lots in /usr/include/* so 
is probably what you want.

Tip: copy the 3 CD images onto your hard disk, mount them somewhere* (say, 
/var/cd/?/) and do this:

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia CD1 /var/cd/1/Mandrake/RPMS*/
urpmi.addmedia CD2 /var/cd/2/Mandrake/RPMS*/
urpmi.addmedia CD3 /var/cd/3/Mandrake/RPMS*/
urpmi.addmedia ii-updates ftp://ftp.ii.net/linux/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS \
  with ../base/hdlist.cz

Now if you type...

urpmi qt

...urpmi will say...

    The following packages contain qt: qtella xine-plugins libqt3
      unixODBC-gui-qt licq libqtvision1-devel libunixODBC2-qt
      libarts libqt3-devel koffice libqtvision1

...and you can think `Aha!' and type...

urpmi libqt3-devel

...which will install it and all needed dependencies. You should probably also 
investigate `urpmi.update' (-: it's not apt-get, but it's close enough for 
most people :-)
