Yes, we are using IMQ also.
I use IMQ to limit incoming traffic using egress filter.
Once you use IMQ as follow, just use the new device (imq0) as you ussualy do
in your normal htb rule to eth0.

        modprobe imq numdevs=1
        ip link set imq0 up
        iptables -t mangle -F
        iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -j IMQ

Btw, since I'm not expert in Linux, maybe it is better to ask in lartc mailing
list. Thare is a lot of linux guru there :-)
Of course I will also help if I can.
