So are you building with MacPorts or GtkOSX? The two are mutually incompatible...
There is no function gdk_font_draw_text, deprecated or otherwise. There's a gdk_draw_text, which isn't deprecated -- but it's also not in Gtk3, so rewriting your program to use Cairo directly is a good step. If there are functions that fail silently in quartz it's likely that they are stubbed out -- meaning an empty function present just to get your program to build and run. The choices are to implement them or (as you have done) work around them. If you feel strongly that they shouldn't be there the place to take that up is gtk-devel-list.
