As freemangordon stated, gtkmozembed would have to be updated or reimplemented. Below is the reply to an email to the maintainer of the embedlite github repo from 13 feb 2014. This was the reason I stopped work on the qt4 replacement.

No, Qt4 is not an option anymore. Qt5 does support QGraphicsView/Widget option still but that is only on qtmozembed side. It's also going to go away soon.

In this branch
https://github.com/tmeshkova/gecko-d...ackendrefactor
We are going to drop Qt4 support and dependency on Qt5Widgets and switch everything to stock Qt5. No time and strength to support both.

As an alternative it should be possible to just build Gtk embedding wrapper around EmbedLite API for Neo900. Similar to what https://github.com/tmeshkova/qtmozembed does for Qt.
All patches for supporting Gtk backend wrapper are welcome.
