This fits very well into the wxRL layout manager (you can find it at 
wxCode). Currently the layout manager handles box sizers in just the
way you describe. I've been thinking about adding the same mechanism
for flexgrid sizers, but haven't got around to it. It would be fairly 
straight forward, but a not trivial. (With grid sizers you couldn't 
do it since per definition, the grid is 100% symmetrical). 

Feel free to investigate it with wxRL.
