Shouldn't be a problem.
wxGlade deals extremely well with all kinds of sizers
it has both the concept of "generic / custom controls", and base class 
controls (e.g. you modify a combo box to have phrase wheel properties, so you 
select a combo box for graphical GUI design, but in the settings of the combo 
box you type that you want to use it's child class "PhraseWheel" instead of 
"ComboBox"
Maybe nobody noticed - the newest version (from cvs) of wxGlade even generates 
event handler function stubs (e.g. you draw a control, and in the settings 
dialog box you have a list of possible events for that control, for which you 
can fill in you own function names to handle these events)

Last not least, it takes only a few hours to write a support module for a new 
widget for wxGlade - it's entirely modular and simple, similar to gnumed's 
plugin mechanism.
