Actually, you can already do this, *unless* the package you are trying to install has specifically asked for a newer version of gtk+2. What's probably happening in your case is that your package needs the newer version, and the newer version hasn't yet made it to the binary distro.
Another possibility is what Remi tried to suggest: Maybe you do not have *all* the required packages installed. If you have, for instance, gtk+2 and gtk+2-shlibs installed, but not gtk+2-dev, and some package requires gtk+2-dev, fink will start building all of gtk+2 from source, because these 3 packages are "split-offs" of one package, that is, they are built at the same time from the same source.
You can then stop the build process, install the missing package via apt-get, and restart fink install.
What *do* you have installed? You can get this from dpkg:
dpkg -l gtk+2\*
