OpenGL-ES development libraries are part of Fremantle SDK
Imagination SDK can be loaded from
http://www.imgtec.com/powervr/insider/sdk/KhronosOpenGLES2xSGX.asp

The Imagination SDK contains lots of example applicatins etc.

Qt  OpenGL is included in Qt Fremantle port that is in extras-devel 
repository
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free non-free
