Gtk DOES have to sit on X11 till recompilation. May be it's possible to use even GNOME for i386-based embedded system or some other components from standard distrubition but use basic systems from standard distribution like kernel ??? Why you'll need modular sound for embedded system without soundcard ? Or PCMCIA support ? You'll need custom-build kernel in any case.
