Actually, i don't think so.  Gtk2.pm is going to load Gtk2.so, and Gtk2.so
will be linked against the gtk+ library by soname (for x11, that's
libgtk-x11-2.0 and libgdk-x11-2.0), and includes X11-specific code if you're
building against the X11 backend.  The linkage issue makes the target-specific
code issue moot.

The easiest solution is to install Gtk2 for X11 and FB in different prefixes,
and use the PERL5LIB env var to switch between them.  (Sandboxes, essentially;
see the README with Gtk2.)
