A couple of solutions come to mind:

(1) Add the root folders (GTK2 etc) as "Create Folder References"  
rather than "Recursively create groups for any added folders". You'll  
no longer have control over what files show up in the project (just  
everything in the directory will - including .svn directories etc),  
but they will get copied in their entirety and the hierarchy will be  
preserved.

(2) Add the files individually as normal, creating Xcode groups as  
you wish. Go into the project Targets and "New copy files build  
phase". Edit properties for the build phase and choose Destination:  
Resources and Path: "GTK2" etc. You can rename the build phase too.  
Drag the files from the default "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase  
into the new copy files phase. Repeat for other folders.


You could also rename your files so there's no conflict, and pick the  
appropriate classes at run time (e.g., selecting between  
GTKAppController and CocoaAppControler). :)

Hope that helps,
