It appears that this can be accomplished with a combination of
liblocation and libcityinfo:

http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/liblocation/
http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/cityinfo/

libcityinfo seems to have the reverse-geocoding database that you
want, specifically:

http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/cityinfo/cityinfo_8c.html
