Inkscape has a number of filters that can be easily parallelized (in fact, Gaussian blur already uses a crude, but effective, form using OpenMP). They are all located in the src/display directory as nr-filter-*.cpp. You're free to pick one and parallelize it (there all have a pretty obvious "render" function). Quite a few of them would be trivial to parallelize, so have a look if you can find one with which you feel comfortable modifying and have a go. If you run into trouble you can always present your problem here.
If I am not mistaken, Krzysztof has already done the parallelization of the rest of the filters in his GSoC branch.
