Yes, Use wxWidgets.
On unix wxWidgets prefers to use GTK as the underlying widget set, under 
win32 it prefers to use the native windows widgets.

It is more than just a widget set though, it is an application 
framework. I don't know how much they can be seperated if you have 
existing an important framework.

Important projects like audacity use wxWidgets to work with native 
widgets under windows and linux
