To be complete, Java also has an AccessibleRole PANEL:

!  The javax.accessbility.AccessibleRole.PANEL definition is identical 
to that of ATK_ROLE_PANEL.

Digging some more, I found an ATK_ROLE_GROUPING:  "A group of related 
widgets. This group typically has a label. Since : ATK-2.1.0"

FWIW, I searched the entire GTK for ATK_ROLE_GROUPING and 
ATK_ROLE_PANEL.  ROLE_PANEL is used six times, whereas ROLE_GROUPING is 
not used anywhere.

The widgets that expose ROLE_PANEL are:
- GtkContainer: Base class for widgets which contain other widgets,
- GtkPopover: Context dependent bubbles (e.g., bubble help),
- GtkFrame: A container with a decorative frame and optional label, with 
a single child,
- GtkActionBar: A full width bar for presenting contextual actions,
- GtkHeaderBar: A box with a centered child with optional title and 
optional sub-title, and
- GtkPlug: Top level container for embedding widgets into other processes.
