In the presentation with Gearman you have a C extension for PHP, and you code the daemon itself in PHP. My idea it's different. Let's put it simple. I am planning code a server (similar to a web server, Apache) written in C or C++ that contains PHP embed (or its own SAPI), with an efficient protocol (no xml, no http) to call PHP functions that he contains. The protocol probably would use my binary serialization class and submit objects (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/5242.html) but I don't know yet. In typical installation you would have many workers, and one "master" that will be a mere php application with web interface probably that would submit PHP code to the workers. The code will be raw PHP, I mean no special API would be needed to export any function, my goal it's keep it simple to migrate. The final client wouldn't connect to the master, they will have a pull of worker and they will pick up one randomly (as many people does with memcached).
