I get the feeling that the most GTKish answer is not the best one. By "most GTKish" I mean a solution involving widgets like scrollbars and such. However, especially if your scrollable area is infinitely large, scrollbars may not be as useful as a click-and-drag or keyboard-driven viewport-adjustment interface. If you take my advice, you should probably begin with a GtkDrawingArea and create your own widget based on that for handling the drawing of a large area.
