Maybe I need to update that a bit, because that talks about gnomemm 1.2,
which you almost certainly don't want to use.

You can, and should, request multiple things with PKG_CHECK_MODULES().
Just do

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DEPS, gtkmm-2.0 >= 2.2.8 gconfmm-2.0 > 2.0.0)
instead of just 
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DEPS, gtkmm-2.0 >= 2.2.8 gconfmm-2.0 > 2.0.0)
