Certainly you can! I'm pretty sure you only need the gnome-libs package
installed to be able to run gnome apps. And I think most of the
distributions do by default install the minimum libs needed to be able to
run gnome (and kde) apps even if you don't want the whole desktop.

I run (from time to time) kde only apps and my desktop is gnome. I know 
people run my (gnome) apps on boxen with kde desktops...

Oh, yes, someone complained about nautilus screwing with the desktop. 
There is a config option to nautilus, preferences->windows&desktop->use 
nautilus to draw the desktop. Maybe disabling that would help?
