Yes, you just use your own custom macro command.  So instead of 

	gc.beginTransaction("My paint action");
	// Use gc to paint here
	gc.endTransaction();

You provide a KMacroCommand

	gc.beginTransaction(&macro); // or m_macro or whatever
	// Use gc to paint here
	gc.endTransaction();

You can then pass macro to has many gc as you want.

BTW, I'm almost done with the code, however, I've broken all the tools 
again :)  They need to be ported.
