Would be possible, but somebody needs to do it. Every package in Extras
needs a packager/maintainer. Parts of the gtkmm suite are in Extras
already. But as many packagers focus on including software, which is
needed for building other software, it may need more package developers
to add additional packages.
Building package maintenance teams would be possible, too. That means, one
person does the packaging, another person uses the software [heavily] and
does the testing/quality-control.
I use the package heavily, my entire work is based on it. I also tried to
build it from source, but it's looking for fairly old versions of some
gnomemm/gtkmm libraries. I do have the FC4 versions of those libraries
installed, which are the the latest stable (not development), so from what
I can tell, glademm has not kept up with gnomemm and gtkmm. I'd even be
very willing to modify the code, if necessary, and compile it against the
new libraries, but I know nothing about automake and autoconf.
If someone is willing to give it a try with packaging, I'll help in any
way I can.
