Of course, it depends on DX keyboard, so still needs touchscreen support added. Java would be a lot easier I think. Personally, I prefer low-level code (C and direct access to device driver ioctl() and /proc interfaces).
I think GM hit on the best answer to your question, with a couple of notes:

That is a port of qt-embedded (frame buffer interface) rather than qt (x11 interface).
It is based on qt-embedded 4.6.
It is for the Kindle DX and would need coding to make it work on the KT as GM points out.
GM also includes a post describing some alternatives to using qt (or java) in the thread above.

Other posts in this thread contain links to "HowTo build" information.

The project GM linked to is (almost) dead, the author sold his Kindle hardware and is looking for other developers to help him. This might be a great time to get in touch with that author.
