So far as i know, that's the only way.  The C code for 
GtkCellRendererText uses pango_parse_markup() to turn the markup in to 
a PangoAttrList and plain text, but this function is not bound to perl.
All you really want to do, though, is strip tags, so even 
pango_parse_markup() would be overkill for you.  Things like $markup =~ 
s/<[^>]*>//g are what perl does best.  :-)
