Following the GNOME HIG would not mean relying on GNOME specific libraries... would it?
No.
Definately not a requirement.
Besides if and when Inkscape wants to use Gnome specific components like Gnome-Print (which is barely gnome specific anymore) it would very likely be done as a compile time option or an extension plugin, or failing that Inkscape would include any necessary extras not provided by GTK.
Nobody wants to break the crossplatform compatibility of Inkscape, nobody wants to make life particularly difficult for KDE or other non Gnome users who would prefer GTK only versions.
