Ah, but not in the *gtk-osx* modules in Source/jhbuild/modulesets, i.e., Source/jhbuild/modulesets/gtk-osx-*.modules. Those are the only ones set up for OSX.

As the instructions say, you can use the Gnome module as a basis for your own, but configure (or even building) can reveal other dependencies. One thing I found in configure.in is

# We have a direct dependency on X11 on gdk-x11, see bug #613525
AC_MSG_CHECKING([for GDK target])
GDK_TARGET="$($PKG_CONFIG --variable target gdk-$GTK_API_VERSION)"
AC_MSG_RESULT([$GDK_TARGET])
case "$GDK_TARGET" in
  x11) PLATFORM_PKGS="x11 cairo-xlib" ;;
  *) PLATFORM_PKGS="" ;;
esac

which might cause you some trouble.

Good Luck!
