Taking a look at this bug today, is there any reason why the ebuild shouldn't simply RDEPEND="x11-libs/gtk+" (i.e. remove the explicit dep on gtk3), detect what version you have installed on your system and then either run --enable-gtk3 or --enable-gtk2 during src_configure(), depending upon which you're using?
