No.

From the intro to google colab:

Colab notebooks execute code on Google's cloud servers

Servers generally don't even have a display. And even if they had, you wouldn't see it. You will have to run Python on your desktop or laptop to use tkinter.

Additionally, the colab environment is a form of IPython notebook, which is not really a standard Python environment. I would not recommend trying to run tkinter programs from an IPython notebook even if you have IPython running locally.
