You don't need a cutting edge pkg-config, nor gtk+. What you have in
your debian is likely enough (or else, debian is very late on its
versions). You will likely only need the master babl and gegl.
That still makes 3 packages to build from source (babl, GEGL and
GIMP), but they are very easy to compile. That's basically the usual
deal:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

We welcome any new help. :-)
