The former, you can already do this;
(in the not yet wrapped python API)

builder = gtk.Builder()
builder.add_from_string("""
  <interface>
    <object class="GtkListStore" id="liststore1"/>
  </interface>""")

builder.add_from_string("""
<interface>
  <object class="GtkWindow" id="window1">
    <child>
      <object class="GtkComboBox" id="combobox1">
        <property name="model">liststore1</property>
      </object>
    </child>
  </object>
</interface>""")

The first call will create the tree model.
The second one will create an combobox in a window using the model.
