Hi,
Basically - its not that simple.  As you would still need to link 
against MeegoTouch Library for that.
But yes it is possible to be used without meegotouch, as it is already 
done by mozilla firefox mobile:

See:
* opening the VKB:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/src/qt/mozqwidget.cpp#392

* closing the VKB:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/src/qt/mozqwidget.cpp#426

* responding to input method query
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/widget/src/qt/mozqwidget.cpp#351

By using direct mode you will get real keyevents from the keyboard - but 
be aware that this is not really supported and has bad sideeffects, duno 
why its still around - actually.
Anyway newer patches for Firefox Mobile- which are not yet reviewed (see 
bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609843) - will show you 
how firefox mobile is using the "normal mode".

This is done by implementing 'inputMethodEvent' and by providing on 
input method query '0'(normalmode) and not '1'(directmode).

Of course its not really the clean way, but not using the Namespace is 
the only way of keeping the meegotouch dependency of of the qt application.

Cheers,

Jeremias
