This might not be exactly what you had in mind, but MacOS X 10.3 now
ships with X11. Therefore, as long as everything (Xconq, GTK+, et al.)
compiles on MacOS X (which, in my experience, is not always certain), it
can be used on MacOS X. And I know that GTK+ is available for MacOS X
via the Fink project (although it's an older version of GTK+).
Of course, the same is not true for "classic" MacOS (before X).
