I think yes but the set up is a bit involved.
It requires using gladvcp's handler file extensions to parse
the INI file (or any other file) and fill the labels.
That means you must know the label widgets names, so if you change
them you must change the handler file.
But after that changing the labels is easier.

A fixed window is as close as your gonna get for this.
A fixed window allows you to place objects somewhat arbitrarily on its
surface. Place a fixed window in the h-box then hal meter and leds.
I bet you won't be happy with the layout. widgets cannot be placed
on top of each other AFAIKT. You find that the led and meter (and everything 
else)
is drawn on a square background - that background can't overlap either.

You may need to build a custom widget if you really want something special.
