There is precedent for doing what you suggest, David. I added jpeg

The gtk developers seem to see jpeg as a required dependency. The install file 
in the source says

GTK+ requires the following packages:

- The GLib, Pango, and Atk libraries, available at the same location as GTK+
(Either Pango-1.0 or Pango-1.2 can be used with GTK+-2.2; Pango-1.2 is recommended.)

- The TIFF, PNG, and JPEG image loading libraries. You most
  likely have these installed on your system already. If not
  these libraries are available from:

For what it's worth I agree with David Jensen's suggestion. I think it would be 
pretty weird if someone wanted to install gtk+ and didn't want to install 
libjpeg
