Of course, it is. It just requires a very fit coder on it.
Please, don't just start porting GnuCash. Sometimes it really helps reading 
and understanding the whole source before porting it. Why I am saying this 
is, because this is one way to get rid of glib, design GnuCash to a good 
styles C++ source code, with a well desgin to be reused etc.

I personaly love your idea of porting it to KDE since I just don't want all 
these GNOME dependencies on my pc as well as I want a nice KDE integrated, 
easy to use, and future ahead cash application.

Sincerly,
Christian Parpart.
