The standard thing is to use the macro PKG_CHECK_MODULES(), e.g.
something like:

if test -z "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
   AC_PATH_PROG(PKG_CONFIG, pkg-config, no)
fi
if test "$PKG_CONFIG" = "no" ; then
   echo "*** pkg-config not found, can't build with gtk 2.0"
fi

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0,
   CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $GTK_CFLAGS"
   LIBS="$LIBS $GTK_LIBS",)
