Yep.  We're using it as a standalone server.  Make sure you use the
soup-0-7 branch, as that's the latest from CVS.

Here's some hastily-written sample code:

int
main () {
	GMainLoop *main_loop;
	SoupServer *server;
	
	main_loop = g_main_loop_new (NULL, TRUE);

	server = soup_server_new (SOUP_PROTOCOL_HTTP, 8080);
	if (!server) {
		/* couldn't bind to the port... */
		exit (-1);
	}

	soup_server_register (server, "/foo", NULL, foo_callback, NULL, NULL);
	soup_server_register (server, NULL, NULL, default_callback, NULL, NULL);

	soup_server_run_async (server);

	g_main_loop_run (main_loop);
}

static void
foo_callback (SoupServerContext *context, SoupMessage *msg, gpointer data)
{
	msg->response.owner = SOUP_BUFFER_STATIC;
	msg->response.body = "<html><body><b><blink>Hello world</blink></b></body></html>";
	msg->response.length = strlen (msg->response.body);

	soup_message_set_error (msg, SOUP_ERROR_OK);
}

static void
default_callback (SoupServerContext *context, SoupMessage *msg, gpointer data)
{
	soup_message_set_error (msg, SOUP_ERROR_NOT_FOUND);
}
