I really doubt it.

Right now in order to load gail/atk-bridge modules, there isn't
anything on GTK like "load accessibility modules" as in the deprecated
libgnome-ui.

In order to load the modules you use GTK_MODULES, an environment
variable used to load any general purpose module during gtk_init.

So, in order to be accepted a procedure like this, it should be a
general method to load any general purpose module during runtime.

You also have the problem of how signal gtk applications on
runtime. You would require a IPC to do that, so the best candidate
would be DBUS. This would mean add a new dependency to gtk+.
