I believe it would.

IANAL, but...
You'd have to clean-room it: get someone else to study the libipq
source and write you a document specifying how to interface with the
ip_queue module via netlink. Yourself, you should not look at the
libipq source, only this other person. That would then allow you to
write a non-GPL interface to ip_queue functionality. This is how the
original third-party BIOS was designed and implemented, circumventing
IBM's proprietary license on it.
