Yes. Have your clients subscribe to an update channel for the game
(you will probably need separate channels for each user, unless all
players have full information). Generate the delta when the update
happens and push it out to the relevant channel(s).

Hookbox is a great way to easily get something up and running with
Comet*, but be aware that the project looks sadly unloved at the
moment. I'd be pretty wary about using it in production. On the other
hand, it can't possibly be worse than polling.
Cheers,
Duane.
* shameless plug: especially if you use django-hookbox.
