Here is something I have written for glib/GTK+:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/io_watch.h?rev=1.8
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/efax-gtk/efax-gtk/src/io_watch.cpp?rev=1.5

It is similar to QSocketNotifier, and executes a callback passed as a 
libsigc++ slot when a file descriptor is available for reading or writing.

It is released under the GPL but if you want to use it under the LGPL that 
would be OK.  (I was proposing to change the licence anyway.)

As has been mentioned, glibmm also has something similar.
