Yes, the relevant .pc files should come with your favorite GTK+ or gtkmm 
installer. There are located in $BASEPATH/lib/pkgconfig.

Now, if you installed gtkmm in the same directory as GTK+, gtkmm-2.4 
should be automatically detected by pkg-config. If, on the contrary, you 
chose any other target directory, you should set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
environment variable accordingly.

See the pkg-config man page for details.

In the future, my gtkmm installer might do that for you, but in the 
meantime, you have to do it manually.
