Yes but you have to make sure first you don't violate Microsoft's licence for Ribbon.

There are some other software not only microsoft which make use of them, for example MindJet MindManager.

The easiest way is simply to add a QTabWidget to your toolbar as a QWidgetAction. Inside you can place toolbars or buttons or whatever you like.

Which doesn't mean that if they don't violate the licence then you won't as well. Did you even read it? The technology is patented, you know...

You should really read the license and design guidelines before writing a line of code. The design guidelines have required portions that must be implemented to be in compliance with the license.
