As a matter of fact, we used the SoQt version downloaded from SIM's 
subversion repository( its now being changed to Mercurial repository ), 
so it is not in the list of stable releases. In this case you can use 
any of the versions (1.4.1/1.5.0) , here 1.5.0 is recommended. As you 
are going to build OpendTect from scratch, it wont be a problem. In 
order to build SoQt you also need to have Coin, which should be built 
before you build SoQt as SoQt has dependencies on Coin.

Yes, for building uiCoin, you first need Coin and SoQt built from 
scratch for making the lib files. You have this problem because you do 
not have SoQt lib files yet.
