(This would be something handled in Linux by the Gnome desktop infrastructure which doesn't exist in Gtk-OSX, so we'll have to work out something else.) Do you know where the input modules live and how to set that variable?

A little more searching finds that you must pass "--with-included-immodules=yes" to configure for gtk+, so add the following to your .jhbuildrc-custom:

append_autogenargs("gtk+", "--with-input-modules=yes")

and run 

jhbuild buildone --force gtk+

That will get you the included input modules. If you need any of the other contributed modules, you'll want to look at http://gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net/.
