That really depends which MeeGo you are asking about. MeeGo MeeGo, or Harmattan MeeGo? Mind, that you are asking the question on MeeGo/Harmattan forum.

Harmattan is really renamed Maemo6 with the Hildon UI replaced by Qt. It should keep backward compatibility, unless your application relies on a Maemo component replaced in Harmattan by Qt component. Which one are these? Only Nokia devs know.

MeeGo (as meego.com) on the other hand uses GTK+ for the Netbook UI and Qt for Handset UI. There are no plans on supporting Hildon on Netbook or GTK+ at all on Handset.
But you may roll your own GTK+ installation for Handset UI, as there in none in standard, so you will not conflict anything.
