I think all will include gtk, either as part of the standard install
or available via the package manager. To install from the package
manager you just need to type "gtk" and click the install button
(details vary a bit).

Even this step is usually done for you: if you install a program which
needs gtk, gtk will be automatically installed for you.

Building and installing the whole of gtk from source requires a lot of
skill and work, but I think no regular user would ever need to do
this.
