I think so.  In my cvs tree in setup.py, I have

if BUILD_GTKAGG:
    try:
        import gtk
    except ImportError:
        print 'GTKAgg requires pygtk'
        BUILD_GTKAGG=0
    except RuntimeError:
        print 'pygtk present but import failed'


If X is not present, they get the runtime error, and in this case GTK
will still build, right?

But you'll still need X to run the GTK backend....
