There is no "gtk" package; it's called "gtk+" (for version 1), or
"gtk2" (for version 2, the current version). GTK is the toolkit that the
Gnome environment is built around.

It's also almost certainly already installed on just about every Fedora
box in the world that hasn't been done with a "minimal" or cut-down
server install.

If you're trying to build software, what you'll be missing is the
"development" files, required for software development. Depending on
whether the project you are building requires version 1 or version 2 of
the GTK toolkit, you'll be needing to do either:

# yum install gtk+-devel
or
# yum install gtk2-devel
