True, the GUI is a plugin, but the viewport is quite monolithic. I would recommend starting from my fork at github, and then merging with a pull from the master K-3D repository since it contains more recent build fixes. For some starting points you could look at k3dsdk/qtui and its viewport, I tried to outline a new design for the viewport so it would in the future be easier to reuse OpenGL code in different GUIs.
