There are three GNU Classpath people actively working on an AWT
implementation in GTK+ -- Jim Blair, Chris Toshok, and myself. GNU
Classpath's AWT will be compatible with Gnome. We've been making
progress on a daily basis.

I was under the impression that their free AWT is based on low-level
X11 calls. (that is, their proprietary DOS version is custom)

GTK+ has been ported to Windows. Of course, porting to any
proprietary operating system (especially ones that are extremely
different from GNU systems) will never be a primary focus of the
Classpath project.

I really don't see the community's resources as being splintered.
Transvirtual is working on their libs, and free software hackers are
working on the GNU Classpath libs. :) Transvirtual is motivated by the
fact that they can relicense their code base for proprietary use and
modification -- they of course can't do that if they start accepting
outside code.
