It was something I was planning on doing after I finish converting Traveller ships in a few weeks time.
Have you seen the JavaScript utility that someone on one of the other Gurps boards has put up:

I tried to do a TL9 Meizi today to get a feel for it and the basic design you can do, but you can't get close to the delta-V without choosing the TL10 drive and fuel performance. How can you get close to 165 mps total delta-V (82.5 mps with turnover) with 0.06G sAccel at TL9? I chose TL10 drive and tanks as the best fit though this lowers overall delta-V.
You also have to make decisions about what to do with the small components that are way below the size of one module on an SM 10 craft - like the hangar and the laser towers.
Meizi outline design:
Front
1 Armor (Metallic Laminate)
2-6 Habitat (250 cabin equivalent plus cargo)
0 Control Room
Central
1-6 Fuel Tank
Rear
1 TL10 Fusion Pulse Drive
2-0 Fuel Tank
Option: Spin Gravity
