I'm not sure if this exactly what you want, but what i do is:

 - Configure gkrellm to behave as a dock app (in the Properties of the
   General config settings)
 - Configure xmonad layout manager to handle docks:
     import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
     ....
     myManageHook = manageDocks <+> (composeAll [ ... ] )

This makes gkrellm being handled in the same way as docks in other wms.

HTH,
jao
