Yes.
Is it straight forward or easy - No
Apart from pyvcp programs, the apps that embed simply into Axis, are the ones that take a XWinID as an argument and embed themselves into that window
(mplayer is a good example of this)
If there is no method to pass the window ID into which the app should embed, then you have to start the app, establish what the WinID of it is and use that to embed into your container widget
I have done this in Qt and embedded the Gremlin widget into a Qt application
However this requires coding.
There is a C program here which produces an embeddable gtk window.

However even if you achieve this, you will have a panel that cannot be maximised beyond the tab restraints, probably no more than 60% of the screen.
Just running gnumeric alongside and teaching your operators to use Alt Tab makes far more sense
