To embed a GTK widget into gWidgets isn't too hard, just call the add method.
I'm not sure how  to get the GTK object you want from the ggobi 
interface. Below is an example that you might be able to modify:

## 
library(RGtk2)
library(rggobi)
library(gWidgets)
options(guiToolkit="RGtk2")

## ggoobi object
x <- ggobi(mtcars)

## grab child from main window. Modify (how?) to get 
## other widgets
toplevel <- ggobi_gtk_main_window(x)
child <- toplevel[[1]]  # toplevel has only one child
toplevel$remove(child)  # remove child if keeping toplevel
toplevel$destroy()      # or destroy if not

## add to a gWidget instance using gWidgetsRGtk2:
w <- gwindow("A gwidget's window")
g <- ggroup(cont = w, expand=TRUE)
add(g, child, expand=TRUE)
