Actually I don't think those two efforts go in different directions... 
QPackageKit is already a lib and a gui separated, so you can reuse the 
lib part although I think starting from scratch would be better.
To me the architecture would be : PackageKit <---dbus---> Qt equivalent 
of libpackagekit <---linked with--->KDE service/Any Qt app.
Are you hosting your code somewhere ?

Adrien
