The "mm" series of GTK+ libraries are (as I understand it) the C++ 
wrapper for the corresponding gtk libraries.

Some of what I think you are missing glibmm, libglademm (grab sigc++ 
while you are there) seem to be available at

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/bindings/2.16/2.16.0/sources/c++/

gtkglextmm is more of an issue

Which is a guess consistent with what I see at 

http://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~azolotko/cse more 488onmac.html

where instructions on building gtkglextmm for fink are given.

I don't understand the relationship between FreeBSD and fink, but there 
does seem to be a FreeBSD version of gtkglextmm.

http://www.freebsdsoftware.org/x11-toolkits/

Pangomm is a wildcard. I don't see a separate fink version, but do see 
evidence of programs dependent on it being built on fink.  I suspect it 
is included in
what you have.

Have you dealt with., prepared for, the boost dependency issues.  I 
promise you that they are there as well, but not sure configure deals 
with them.

Anxious to help...

And counseling patience.
