Here is the problem - it is not a new port.
The last version of GTK+ on OpenVMS is GTK+1.x.
The last GTK 1.x release (1.2.10) was last released 18 years ago. Compared to the existing GTK code base—both in the stable (3.24) and master (4.0-pre) branches—is a completely different project.
There was an effort to upgrade GTK+ for OpenVMS, but unfortunately it failed.
Not much we can do about that.
Now out of curiosity - do you have access to OpenVMS?
No. Which is why I wrote:

These are the *minimum* requirements for any support to exist. We'd also need somebody knowledgeable with the OpenVMS platform to keep things working when the build changes.
I assume OpenVMS still uses X11, so there's no need for a separate windowing system, but of course every platform has its own quirks, so everything that GTK depends upon will need to work on OpenVMS.
