You cannot. Libart does everything strictly aa, and as consequence
cannot use pallettes meaningfully (as there is no general way for doing
subpixel things on palette image).
I also do not know other libraries, but maybe you could search for SVG
viewers and inspect these for usable parts.
Alternatively you could write palette-based non-aa SVP rendering
yourself - should be very easy to do.

Also, what do you mean by SVG palette? AFAIK SVG is always in full RGB
colorspace?
