"b) there is barely a drop of SVG on the web at the moment, and c) the major desktop browsers don't thoroughly, consistently support it"
This doesn't matter since we are talking about mobile devices. You won't see Firefox or IE running on a phone any time soon.
However, Opera aleady supports SVGT on their mobile browser and have great support in Opera 8 for SVGT. http://svg.org/story/2005/3/16/152318/005 (Mozilla also has a project, not sure it is for the full SVG spec or just SVGT.)
As for a, fonts are really the only thing that need touching up. (Unless you have a font engine built into the phone.) Have you seen SVGT on a phone yet? Or are you just speculating?
50 phones have SVGT 1.1 browsers built in and plenty more are on the way that will support SVGT 1.2. Vodafone is leading the charge. If you have Vodafone odds are something on it is done in SVG.
It will be great when they start broadcasting the sports they have rights to on the net. Sports is one of the biggest drivers in HDTV and would be a huge driver in Internet tv as well.
QT is C++ and is a pretty good x-platform library. I do recall Pixar considers it so important to their company they almost consider it a trade secrete.
"I do use an athlon XP 1600+ which is fairly old (and did indeed perform quite poorly at installing Gentoo packages), but even on a Dual Xeon system, I wouldn't want to have to compile KDE from source."
Why would you want KDE on a server anyways? You can compile Apache, PHP, mysql, postgresql, sendmail, postfix and pretty much any other network service in about 10 to 15 minutes. The only long compiles are KDE and X which are not required to run a server. If you have ever administrated over 20 servers you know damn well you don't need a GUI on any of them. SSH works great.

You forgot one of the most important things about new mobile phones... SVGT.
Over 50 phones now support SVGT and more are on the way.

They have been adding support for 3.0 for a while now. I am not sure if it is enterprise ready though.
And I second that mailscanner is an incredible tool.

"My SMTP server doesn't relay from anywhere except localhost."
That's your problem. Your users should be using SMPT-AUTH with SSL or STARTTLS to login and send mail your SMTP server.
