There is now preliminary support for getting a mathtext bitmap to transfer to a GUI widget in SVN, along with a toy wxPython example in examples/mathtext_wx.py. I've only tested this on Linux/wxGTK2/wxPython-2.8. I'd appreciate help with testing (and screenshots) on any other platforms you may care about.
Gtk+ and Qt should also be theoretically possible. Tk will be more difficult, because a) it doesn't support an alpha channel (which would mainly be a quality problem), and b) you have to use the _tkagg C++ bridge to get the image data into a widget. Be aware that the API for this may change due to my planned mathtext/backend communication refactoring. If you do plan on relying on this functionality, I recommend wrapping it in a function (like mathtext_to_wxbitmap in the example) so any future changes will be localized.
