Aha, so after pushing on gtk+ 2.4 changes on freenode #fink, found out that the Boehm Garbage Collector is also called:
* libgc-devel * gc * libgc
So, it looks to be widely available, but under diff. names. I think the best approach is to push with package maintainers of various systems and distros to get most stable recent versions of gtkmm. I have done this with FINK (http://fink.sf.net) and this seems to work, as they respect the developer to developer upstream connection. :) Others might try this for their respective distro (fedora, etc) as we add more dependencies in the future.
I've been addind my findings to this wiki on fedora core 2 and the new dependencies: http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CompilingInkscape

Thus, we really need this to be more widely available. There are three options I see:
The best we can do is to link it statically, so those using binaries won't even notice. Those compiling from source will have to compile gc from source - it's small and easy (provided you know where to find it and which version to use, which must be documented).
