The entry and links are outdated, but the ways are right...

If you want to use GTK-OSX and jhbuild, see the new page:
http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX/Building  (or gtk.org)

If you want to use MacPorts or Fink, the links are now:
http://www.macports.org/ and http://www.finkproject.org/

If you want to compile everything up from source, see:
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/stable/gtk-building.html

I have made some binary packages, for Mac OS X 10.5 up:
http://macpkg.sourceforge.net/

The PyGTK.pkg contains everything needed to run PyGTK.
