Over the weekend I've ported the old qGo (i.e. 1.5.x, not qGo2) sources to Qt4. The result is available at
git@github.com:bernds/q4Go.git
I've done this simply because I like qGo best of all the available clients, and I feel the qGo2 GUI is a step backwards. Qt3 is getting progressively less supported in Linux distros, so I decided to try whether it's possible to do such a port.
This should be considered alpha quality software. I've logged in on IGS and observed some games, and I've even tried playing some games on a locally running NNGS server, but I've not yet tried playing on IGS.

Re: q4Go
It would be nice to get qGo2's ability to play on Tygem and Wbaduk ported over. It was nice when I was on Linux to have a native client.

Re: q4Go
Thank you. I will follow this with great interest and probably try it out in the next week.

Hmm, I've never managed to create an account on any of these. I probably won't be working on this, but patches are welcome.

Re: q4Go
There's now a v0.2a release tagged in the repository. The changes are mostly under the hood; I've converted more parts to Qt4, using qGo2 code in some parts. I've also fixed a number of bugs that crept in during the conversion, and some which have always annoyed me in qGo (e.g. game titles of observed games not showing properly).
