It will certainly be interesting to see what sort of government the rebels really intend to set up. I'm imagining some sort of democracy predicated upon tribal lines

The big question is what will become of Qaddafi and his sons? I'm betting the World Court wants to get its hands on Qaddafi for Lockerbie purposes...

Mohammad Al Qathafi is in safe hands, and he's going to be transferred to Benghazi for investigations. IIRC, they're considering pardoning him from any punishment since he hasn't partaken in the whole conflict (Al Jazeera spoke with him on the phone).

Saif Al-Islam has been arrested, and is now gonna be in the hands of the International Criminal Court.

Khamis is probably holed up in his father's complex. The NTC's priority is to arrest them, and have them tried rather than shoot them on the spot.

 

Now as for whether the tribes will turn against one another: The rebels all had one goal in mind, which is to end Qathafi's regime, and as such, I doubt it will turn into Somalia (which came to be due to completely different circumstances), not to mention they're not bloodthirsty people. They just want their freedom. But as the leader Mustafa Abdul Jalil said to Al Jazeera, the rebels need to listen to their higher ups as well as the majority of the Libyans rather than acting on their own accord. Otherwise, incidents like Abdel Fattah Younes's (may God have mercy on his soul) assassination, and the recent clash between rebels and Mohammad Al Qathafi's bodyguards, despite orders from the NTC higher ups not to attack him, can repeat itself, which would only harm the direction of the revolution.

For those of you who don't know, Qathafi let out false rumors that Abdul Fattah Younes is working with him, and it poisoned the mind of some rebels who decided to go rogue and assassinate him in "revenge".
