I've never messed with the build system, but the only technical issue I can
think of should be pretty minor -- we need to be able to cleanly build both
variants (GTK and GNOME) on the the same build host, which will take two
compile passes over the tree.
If both ports dump their outputs into the exact same OUTDIR, then we may
want to wipe the tree between builds just to avoid any collisions. It might
be a tad cleaner if those outputs wind up in parallel targets, but that
shouldn't be hard to do.
