Although I haven't tried to do this, there is no inherent reason why Spring
cannot coexist with Keel.  There are many possible ways, one of which might be
to define a simple Keel service with one method like getSpring(); in the
initialize method of that class create the Spring container as you normlly
would.  Then from your Keel Models (or other components) you can do:

  SpringService springSvc = (SpringService)request.getService("spring");
  MyBean bean = springSvc.getSpring().<some spring method I don't know of>;

This would be the general idea, YMMV.
