There's the option to upgrade to Qt4 or Qt5, which would open up Trinity
to all the rendering back ends they support.

It's a big ask, but a lot easier to farm out - just get the base
framework ported and the package dependency tree becomes the project
plan for upgrading.

Once R14 is out I'd be happy to help - is there a dpkg way of printing
out the dependency tree of a group of packages from the trinity repos?
