It's something like that, but the idea behind componentization is that 
TeXmacs could talk with another programs in a lot of ways (using 
"services" a la eclipse) and viceversa. In that fashion you could use 
the file manager you want to save in TeXmacs (rox filer, for example) 
and also, parts of TeXmacs will be available to other programs (like the 
excelent math writing engine)... Some KDE Developer, wich is also a 
physic scientits, talked about services and this vision, but I can't 
find his post. But componentized TeXmacs goes far the tookit and in fact 
can be done before the multiple toolkit approach.

Cheers,
