Yes, you have to do that. The old gtk+-1.0.6 package conflicted with
any newer gtk+ version. This is now resolved, and gtk10 should happily
co-exist with gtk+-1.2.0. You also have to rebuild any packages
depending on gtk10, as the corresponding libraries have been renamed to
avoid name-clashes with other gtk+ versions ...

Yes, see above: from a current pkgsrc tree re-compile gtk10, then
gimp.

No, this is the other way 'round. See section 10 in Packages.txt:
make the package available somewhere and send a PR as described ...
