Yes, it's true.  The 'g' in gvim just stands for GUI, not Gnome.  I'm 
running Gentoo also, and I've compiled it against Motif (because I've 
got a fondness for crusty old UNIX vestiges).  On FreeBSD, you even get 
a compile option to use Athena widgets, if you want that *really* retro 
look to your gvim.  :)  (Gentoo doesn't have the Athena option though.)

Of course, if you compile it manually yourself, you can probably have it 
with whatever toolkit they're still supporting upstream, depending on 
how you want to ./configure it.
