If you take a look at the vim keybindings it does look like some of them were placed where they are with QWERTY in mind, particularly the basic motion keys under the right hand on the home row. There's also keys that are somewhat associated with each other and are colocated within QWERTY. F.i. ; and , or f and t or d and c, w and e. Other than that there's motions and operators spread all over the keyboard.
I think that you should be able to get accustomed to using vim regardless of where they are located within a keyboard as long as your hands rest in the home row where they can reach all the keys. The most important thing is to spend some time practicing so that moving around, using operators, etc becomes natural and you no longer need to think consciously about it. Try starting with a small set of motions and commands and see if you can get comfy with them and then decide :D
This is just an opinion though, I think we need to find a vim dvorak user to enlighten both of us :D
