I have no idea what directfb is, nor do I know anything about GTK or PyGTK 
internals, so I cannot make a fair estimate of how difficult it is going to be.


In short, the answer to your question is yes, everything is open source 
software. Either it is supported already, or you can extend the software. It 
may however not be trivial.


PyGTK is not really relevant to your question. PyGTK is nothing more than a 
very thin layer on top of GTK, so if you want to use PyGTK with directfb, you 
need a GTK with directfb.
If you have that, building a PyGTK with directfb should be quite easy.

Thus, find out what video backends are supported by GTK, and you know how 
non-trivial directfb support is going to be.
