I think 2. is easier than 1. and it is also more feasible. After Mer I have some doubts that anything usable will come from 'MeeGo_on_N8x0'. If the libraries are ported (or at least Qt) then it should be very easy to port the applications.

Without system integration, the whole thing is worthless (seriously, why not just run the thing in Easy Debian then ?). Plus, most of the Fremantle Qt apps would not work as you would miss the Maemo5 module everyone is migrating to. For acceleration you would need proper OpenGL ES drivers, but that's the same thing as for MeeGo. In the end, I'm not at all sure long term full Qt support is viable on Diablo or that it would be less work or more feasible than MeeGo on the N8x0.
