Yes, that's what spice-gtk does (in fact, it always uses drawingarea on x11, because glarea uses glx on x11, and that's not working with eglCreateImageKHR... gtk+ would need to learn to setup an egl context instead on x11, or glx would need to learn to import dmabuf, or glx&egl would need some kind of compatibility to coexist and share resources...)
