This is the new home of GTK+ on OSX development fyi:
   http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/

You can find there the jhbuild instructions that should take
a long time to complete but should do so with little or no interaction,
after that just 'jhbuild build pygtk', and you will be able to run python
scripts within your sandbox by executing 'jhbuild shell'.

The quartz GTK+ backend works quite well overall, lacks native file chooser
and I guess maybe a few bugs that might bite you depending on what you
want to do... but I get gstreamer in GTK+ on OSX without X11 no problem ;-)
