Looks like you can create this element yourself and pass its ID to the
addTab method:
http://code.google.com/apis/gadgets/docs/ui.html#How_it_Works
"Object opt_params -- Optional parameter object. It can include the
following:
* contentContainer --An existing HTML element to be used as the
tab content container. If omitted, the tabs library creates one. "
If you're talking about the row of tabs themselves, you should be able
to use getHeaderContainer to get this element.
"TabSet object. The tabs object is the parent container around all of
the tabs. Programmatically, the tabs object is an array of individual
tab objects. The underlying HTML implementation is typically a <table>
element, referred to in the API as the "header container." You access
this HTML through the gadgets.TabSet.getHeaderContainer() function. "
