If you mean "can I port an Xt app to use a unified main loop rather than
Xt's own", I'm pretty sure you can. The Xt main loop listens to Xserver
events and file input by polling with select(), keeps a queue of
scheduled timeouts, and does idle tasks when it has nothing else to do.
The glib main loop supports all of these, and I'm sure Qt's is just as
rich.
