Gtk-osx doesn't interfere with MacPorts or Fink, they interfere with it by exporting their environments into 
the user's default environment. Gtk-osx doesn't export its environment.

But to completely remove gtk-osx, and assuming that you used the default .jhbuildrc-custom unmodified, do the 
following:

rm -rf ~/gtk
rm -rf ~/Source
rm -rf ~/.local
rm ~/.jhbuild*
rm ~/gtk-osx-build-setup.sh

ls -d ~/.* and rm -rf any config directories like .gconf and .gnome-2 that might have been created by running 
programs during your unsuccessful build process. Be careful here not to delete anything that isn't from gtk.
