Modules (the things imported by the import <uri> syntax) can include both QML files and C++ plugins to provide new types.

Yes, you can do that.

Personally, I think it would be easier to just make a QML calendar element purely in QML, but aside from performance the above certainly works, and maybe you'd have to write so much JS that the QML one wouldn't perform well enough either (though then I'd still recommend ripping the internals out of QCalendarWidget and making a QDeclarativeItem subclass).
