Yes. But I don't know if you need to add the sub-objects or if libdbus

Introspection needs to work for it to interoperate properly.

See dbus_connection_register_object_path to handle object registrations. 
It's got a VTable, which is how you get notified of external calls.

In order to receive signals, you need to use dbus_connection_add_filter.
