Please could you post the output of

  ldd /usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox

I've installed both versions (i386 and x86_64) of qt here and VirtualBox
links correctly against the 64-bit version.

Your observation is not complete. Some files are installed into
/usr/lib/virtualbox/, the shipped libraries are installed into
/usr/lib64.
