As Brian said, gtk2 depends on gtk.
Just as a practical example, take ethereal, which could be built without gui 
support, just using tethereal.
If you build it with -gtk +gtk2, it will build tethereal, not ethereal. I 
submitted some time ago a patch to make this a more logical behaviour, but I 
needed to change it to suit the same behaviour of other packages. See bug 
#81055.

Take also amule which you can find on bugzilla as an example, which can be 
built without gtk support, and on which gtk2 support depends on gtk.

Or wxGTK in which +wxnogtk flag is used to disable gtk1 support (there's gtk2 
flag but no gtk flag).

I still think this is illogical, but I can't do much on this.
