Considering GTK doesn't have interface abstraction like Cocoa does, I don't consider any more a viable multiplatform API than Carbon.
I hope that if you go ahead with this that there is an option to have GTK apps appear conspicuously different than other mac apps. I can currently do this with Qt and Swing which I make look like CDE and Metal respectively due to the fact that not one Qt or Swing app behaves like a mac app.
GTK has always been used as a utility toolkit for X11 programmers so I don't see the advantage of porting GTK to Quartz when we already have rootless X11, but I guess I can't stop you from porting it.
