If the other app is a GTK app, yes you can do it using
GtkPlug/GtkSocket.

If the other app is an arbitrary random app, it's not really possible
to do reliably, though sufficiently motivated people have managed to
get it to work sometimes. See the source code for the GNOME panel's
"swallow app" feature.
