There are project files for gtkmm-2.2 in the gtkmm-2.2 tarballs. See 
recent posts in the gtkmm mailinglist (in August) about people who 
ported these project files to gtkmm-2.4.

./configure --build=i386-pc-mingw32 --disable-static

or use my binaries for mingw32

With mingw32, all classes and functions are dll-exported (with 
-no-undefined -Wl,--export-all-symbols). There is no manually-generated 
.def file and no explicit calls to __declspec(dllexport/import) in the 
code, which explains why gtkmm can currently only be compiled statically 
under MSVC.
