Sure you can!  There are several existing applets already, using 
Gtk2::TrayIcon (available from sourceforge and i think from CPAN, but 
not part of the bindings release set), e.g., YARSSR: 
http://yarssr.sourceforge.net/

There are bindings for libpanelapplet in CVS, as Gnome2::PanelApplet, 
but last i recall there was some minor bug in them that kept them from 
working.  Just now i went through to compile them and possibly put a 
tarball up on sourceforge, and found what i think is a pretty 
interesting bug, so we'll see how that pans out.
