reply to myself ...

Turns out that the people at http://rudix.org have a package of Unix  
ports, one of which is gmp, and other is guile.  I installed both.  I  
guess I'll see if it works!

I'm now following the instructions from http://www.macdevcenter.com/ 
pub/a/mac/2007/06/22/graphical-tool-kits-for-apples-os-x-gtk2.html as  
to how to build gtk2+ under OS X.

Gettin' there ...
