Of course it is available. The question is, "Is it already there?" The average blue-haired old lady might be puzzled a bit by a dialog: "You must have gtkmm-2.4-x.rpm installed for Inkscape to work" 'RPM Hell' is becoming a major part of the Download Factor.
But, on sane systems such as debian's apt and RedHat/Fedora's new thingy, and others, you will just install Inkscape and it will take care of the rest. People will not even know, or care, that you use gtkmm.
Depends on the system...
For RedHat 8.0 (which I am still on because a lot of end-users out there still are), there are no 2.x versions of gtkmm packaged standard.
However, freshrpms does have a 9.0 package that installs on 8.0. But again, it's a bit problematic for those individuals and companies who haven't stayed on the cutting edge.
So... it might be there, but just not simple to access to default to.
