You can try using the automated conversion script
here:
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/experimental/tree/qt3-tqt3/convert_e
xisting_qt3_app_to_tqt3
Be warned that it takes a LOT of CPU time to run, and that the result
probably won't compile the first time around. However, it will deal
with 99% of the tedious renaming without intervention.
You then need to take into account the more recent TDE header file and
class name changes. Unfortunately, I do not have a script to
automatically convert a project to use the new TDE class names and
header files, so you would need to make those changes by hand or via
your own scripts.
How I typically handle import of a new application is I first commit
the last known working version of the application from the original
source (i.e. the original project website) to a new GIT repository. I
then apply and commit all changes needed to get it building on Qt3 with
TDE 3.5.13.x, then finally run the autoconversion tools and commit the
first working version for TDE R14. This keeps the original versions
around in the GIT history in case something broke during build fixes
and/or R14 conversion and is not noticed until far in the future (this
has happened many times before!)

Because my home machine is pretty slow, I noticed a high demands of
script. On one smaller test project ran over 24 minutes.
I've done in this script some optimizations:
1) Instead of starting sed using "find -exec sed" I used the "find |
xargs
sed". With xargs not run sed for each file, but one sed for multiple
files.
2) Instead of starting sed for each replacement I'm using "-e" amassed
more replacements to the single sed.
After this optimizations on the same small test project I'm got the same
result in 2.5 minutes. Updated script pushed to git in hash 5fc3ba9a.
