Is it possible to place a grid of buttons in Tkinter inside another frame?

I'm wanting to create a tic-tac-toe like game and want to use the grid feature to put gamesquares (that will be buttons). However, I'd like to have other stuff in the GUI other than just the game board so it's not ideal to just have everything in the one grid.

To illustrate:

O | X | X   |
----------  |
O | O | X   | Player 2 wins!
----------  | 
X | O | X   |

The tic tac toe board is in a grid that is made up of all buttons and the 'player 2 wins' is a label inside a frame.

This is an oversimplification of what I'm trying to do so bear with me, for the way I've designed the program so far (the board is dynamically created) a grid makes the most sense.
