Ooh, sorry, I misread it thinking you wanted the eraser tip to work as eraser. No, no way to change bindings in that sense, you can tell the driver to swap the side buttons (or do it via xmodmap or xinput) and even to fake keyboard presses with the tablet keys; but making GIMP use a button as toggle or even a selector of a given tool is not possible (or very well hidden). The only single swapper I can remember now is the swap FB/BG. Ohh... and space for move tool (or pan or nothing), but that one is hardcoded (to 3 options, pick one), so you would had to edit the source and recompile, assuming keeping the space key down is acceptable (if you have to press alt, shift, control for other eraser options... not so nice to also need space). As crutch you can use the keyboard and maybe rearrange the bindings so eraser is Ekey instead of Shift+E, to make it faster to access. Then you could use the fake keypresses feature with the tablet keys, but you should also bind some other tools to be able to go back to whatever you use. If you use a handful tools, forget the tablet keys, just keep one hand over the keyboard.
