in principle it should be possible, but you have to synchonize
viewpoints and everything between the two (or more) "molecules"
you could try something like (see the save_state.tcl script):

set pdbmol 0
set drawmol 1

molinfo $drawmol set {center_matrix rotate_matrix scale_matrix global_matrix} \
  [molinfo $pdbmol get {center_matrix rotate_matrix scale_matrix global_matrix} ]

why not draw directly into the molecule containing the .pdb?

cheers,
