ÞÓTT 'while, although' and ÞÓTT AÐ 'while that, although that' introduce an adverbial clause. Tag ÞÓTT as P and AÐ as C:

( (IP-MAT (ADVP (ADV Nú-nú))
	  (PP (P þótt-þótt)
	      (CP-ADV (C 0)
		      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (NS-MPNIC menn-maður))
			      (BEP-SA3PP séu-vera)
			      (ADJP (ADJ-MPNSP vænir-vænur))
			      (, ,-,)
			      (CP-REL (WNP-1 0)
				      (C-R sem-sem)
				      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ *T*-1)
					      (NP-OB1 (N-MSAIC hlut-hlutur))
					      (VBP-IA3PP eiga-eiga)
					      (PP (P-D að-að)
						  (NP (NS-NPDIC málum-mál))))))))

Same sentence as above, but now the AÐ-version

( (IP-MAT (ADVP (ADV Nú-nú))
	  (PP (P þótt-þótt)
	      (CP-ADV (C að-að)
		      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ (NS-MPNIC menn-maður))
			      (BEP-SA3PP séu-vera)
			      (ADJP (ADJ-MPNSP vænir-vænur))
			      (, ,-,)
			      (CP-REL (WNP-1 0)
				      (C-R sem-sem)
				      (IP-SUB (NP-SBJ *T*-1)
					      (NP-OB1 (N-MSAIC hlut-hlutur))
					      (VBP-IA3PP eiga-eiga)
					      (PP (P-D að-að)
						  (NP (NS-NPDIC málum-mál))))))))
