I run the GIMP and Gaim off of a USB key.  All you really need to do is
start it with a batch file that:
1. Puts the app bin directory in the path (needed for gimp, but not
gaim).  This will help it find any other ancillary dlls that your app
may need
2. Change to the GTK library bin directory
3. Run the gtk binary.

For example, gaim.bat:
@echo off
cd "\Program Files\GTK\2.0\bin"
start "\Program Files\Gaim\Gaim.exe"

Alternatively, here's gimp.bat
@echo off
PATH=%PATH%;\Program Files\Gimp-2.0\bin
cd "\Program Files\GTK\2.0\bin"
start "\Program Files\Gimp-2.0\bin\gimp-2.0.exe"


Put the batch files on the cd with the GTK libraries and your app and it
should work fine.
