Here's what's going on:
There are two modulesets, the jhbuild modulesets and the gtk-osx  
modulesets. They're different because different configure arguments  
need to be passed for gtk-osx than for gtk on Linux. There are a lot  
more modules in the jhbuild modulesets because they're getting written  
and tested by the Gnome build team and gtk-osx modules are written and  
tested only by me.

So here's what to do:
jhbuild --moduleset=~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/gnome-2.18.modules  
list zenity

That will give you a list of modules that you'll need. Grep for each  
one of them in ~/Source/jhbuild/modulesets/gtk-osx*. The ones that  
show up you can cross off your list.

Create a new moduleset, zenity.modules. Include gtk-osx.modules (which  
will include the others). Copy the modules and their repositories  
still on your list from the gnome modules to zentiy.modules. Try  
jhbuild --moduleset=zenity.modules build zenity and see what happens.  
Fix the errors, try again, iterate until it builds. Then post your new  
moduleset to http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gtk-osx/wiki/ContributdeModulesets 
.

Good luck.
