You can use rawimage 
(http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=30971) to show 
mrw metatags as tooltip in digiKams album view and to integrate 
(some) IPTC data.

As an unofficial side note. I talked the with Phil the creator of 
ExifTool about porting the Perl lib to C++.
Phil will first complete missing writing support for all supported 
filetypes but PDF. One missing writing feature are e.g. embedded 
ICC profiles. When this is finished Phil said that it might be 
the right time to port ExifTool to C++. But this should be done 
as a comunity project and not as one-man-show as this is nearly a 
rewrite.

So if you have interests in helping then we a two persons now :-)
