You need to use setPalette() with the QPallette::Text role.
See http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2006-01/thread00019-0.html
and http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qwidget.html#palette-prop

You can set the opacity with the QColor constructor.
See http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qcolor.html#QColor-2 and 
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.6/qcolor.html#setAlpha

So an example would be:

QColor color;
color.setAlpha(0);
QPalette palette( lineEdit->palette() );
palette.setColor( QPalette::Text, color );
lineEdit->setPalette(palette);
