Kernel version is not so important (of course 2.4.x is not compatible with 2.6.x, but minor version generally doesn't matter)

Much more important is glibc version - software built agains old version can run on new, but not vice versa.

To get truly redistributable Linux binaries, I'd recommended to build them on system with reasonably old glibc (e.g., CentOS 5)
and distribute them with bundled Qt libraries
