For Inkscape we're considering changing our required gtk/gtkmm requirements from 2.4 to something newer (e.g. 2.8).
Mac OS X - fink has 2.4.9 in stable; anything more recent that 2.6.10 will cause disruption, I fear.
That is true and to compile Inkscape on OS X you need Fink unstable anyway and hence you have: gtk+2 2.6.10-1001 gtkmm2.4 2.6.4-1001 I sent an email to the maintainers of GTK packages in Fink to have an idea of their schedule. It might be pretty long term given that the team maintains all gnome packages in Fink. I'll give update as soon as I receive news from them.
Here is the answer I received from Fink GTK packages maintainers.

To be honest, I think mostly people are afraid to touch it. :)
I think what it will need is a concerted effort to hack up all of the gtk-using packages to be updated (in the manner we did to move to the 10.4 tree) and get everything moved at once.
so it seems i nothing will happen in the near future :-)
