Doesnt OpenVG stand for Open Vector Graphics? That sounds more like a SVG-codec.
Symbian does have OpenGL ES 2.0, just like other mobile systems.
And as long the app is made with Qt SDK it should be possible to run on Maemo/MeeGo and Symbian if it gets compiled for the target system.
I believe that the Qt binaries on the phone handle most of the compatibility.
