making a frameworks branch in the kactivities repo is fine. the library should indeed be easy to port.

the daemon process will need a bit more effort, but many of its needs are already taken care of in the frameworks branch of kdelibs (such as the dbus service classes)

EDIT: one small known issue - the OnlyInActivity setting doesn't take when the bookmark is first created; you have to hit Edit and re-check the box.
