Which version of QNX, and which version of "embedded Linux"? What does your application do? If you want good answers, ask good questions. Otherwise you're asking a bunch of strangers to help you by guessing what your problem is.
If you are using QNX 6, porting should be easy. Both use the GNU compiler tools, both support POSIX, pthreads, etc. However, you could be in trouble if your code has strict real-time requirements since Linux will not match QNX's performance in that regard.
If there are hard realtime requirements be prepared to use RTAI or such additionally to Linux. I did not try but I was told multiple times that this mostly is not a big problem.

Apparently they did not provide the paper on line.

The attendees were supplied with a file PDF that contained the presentation used during the (nearly free) speech. I think they would send it to you on request.

BTW. I would take a look at ELinOS. Same might help you to create you "Distribution".
