I saw this question recently on the conkeror mailing list.
It seems that there are no ready to use bindings or modes for people who
prefer vim key bindings but I believe that this could be implemented (at
least partially?).
Below are some quotes from the conkeror mailing list archives:
quote from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.conkeror/1580 :

> "isearch-continue-forward");
> define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "N",
> "isearch-continue-backward");
