I'd really like this feature to do development on device.

Is the DropN900 the only opensource project with the sync ability (and hasn't anybody ported it to N9)?

I'm a developer (with not much experience in Dropbox or web stuff, more experience on OpenGL related stuff with C++). I might be interested to try working on some solutions for syncing with paths. (But don't count on me doing it, as I have other projects.)

What would be the best starting point for a (preferably) C++ app. (Can be command line or GUI, I don't care. As long as it's opensource so that there's something that works already). Should I just try porting DropN900 (which is written in python)... Is there some reason why that can't be done? Or is there some other project or example that could get me started?
DronN9 has already been ported to harmattan, so there is no problem using dropbox from 3rd party client. The problem is that its not integrated part of the system. If I have some spare time someday, I might give a shot for writing accounts plugin that uses dropbox V1 API's, which can be used to replace the system plugin.
