Sorry I did mention that I already tried this. I installed 
hildon-input-method-framework package on the server and
setup /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules. Unfornatly then only in
gtk-apps from the server the keyboard pops up and there is one problem
if you work on the server. The enter-key is not functional anymore
within gtk-apps.

Hm here the problems starts. qtnx only made setup stuff, than it
launch ssh to the server for authorization and start the nxagent on the
server.
After this it is firing up nxproxy on the client which controlls and compress the
x-stuff of nxagent. If I do an xprop on the window on the n800/n810
it shows that the window comes from nxagent, which has no
binary on the client side.
