Sure you can. You could do something like (forgive my pygtk 0.6.x speak)
box = gtk.GtkVButtonBox()
for button_name in list_of_names_returned_from_db_query:
btn = gtk.GtkButton(button_name)
btn.show()
btn.connect('clicked', buttonClickedCallback, button_name)
box.add(btn)

I don't know, but that wouldn't be my first choice in a Gtk app. Maybe a
web interface but that isn't the case here.

You could use a GtkComboBox, a GtkCList (again that is 1.2 speak in 2.x
you need a listview and model and I don't know what else.
