Yes, and you would probably want to have the same (or similar) AST you get
from current bison parser then. Current AST produced by bison parser is 
quite succinct so you could produce it instead of using kdev-pg 
autogenerated one. This will also save your time porting the existing code.

This would mean adding another level of indirection that did not 
exist in bison parser though...
