The answer certainly depends on your requirements :-)

Yes, as long as you adhere to the terms of the LGPL 2+.
This e.g. includes that you provide your modifications freely 
(under the terms of the LGPL2+) if somebody asks for them.
Ideally you submit all relevant changes that could be of
interest back to the Marble Team.

I don't know exactly about pyGTK. But there are 
Python bindings available for Marble, see:

Maybe Simon Edwards (our Python binding maintainer) 
can give some suggestions ...
