Well as far as I understand this would be quite feasible as the basic mode of use of SVK is to mirror an existing svn repository anyway. So essentially you mirror the qpid repository into a branch, then copy this into a private branch to do your work; then you merge back into the mirrored branch and that automatically pushes your changes upstream.
