No, the server itself is desktop angnostic and based only on Qt, which is part 
of any LSB-conform (Linux Standard Base) Linux distribution.

Then you have to implement the access libraries to the Akonadi server 
yourself. There have been efforts to implement them in Python, but they are 
more a test than a working product.

GNOME will not include Qt, but the distributions do already, so that is no 
problem at all.

We as well :)
What's currently missing are glib-based bindings, which do the communication 
with the Akonadi server and the de/serialization of the data into objects that 
can be used by the applications (e.g. vCard to Addresse-Object and vice 
versa).

Ciao,
