libqt3-dev is not needed to run Qt programs, only to compile them.
Also, I'm pretty sure you want libqt3-mt-dev for that, these days.

"apt-get install libqt3-mt-dev" will download and install them
automatically, as will aptitude/synaptic...If you really need to
download them manually, they're in dirs named after the source package
they came from: 

rob at blerg> apt-cache show libxext-dev | grep \^Source:
Source: xfree86

so it's in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xfree86/.
