Hello Luis, You are "allowed" to do this, sure, just like (as I believe you know) I have projects under the PDL namespace that aren't part of PDL itself, such as PDL::Graphics::Prima. Note, however, that some projects (like DBI) have policies for modules that add additional things (hence the DBIx namespace). Have you found any such policy for Tk? It looks like the "Tkx" namespace is for a different Tk interface, by Gisle Aas, so I guess you wouldn't want to put it under Tkx::Knob.
In general, these sorts of rules are really just policy preferences specified by the project owners. They are not enforced by CPAN. Hope that helps!
