You are right. The version (2.18)  is not the most recent. But to the best of my knowledge, it is sufficient to build the gtk2 based lcl and gtk2-based lazarus. So, maybe it is also sufficient for your purpose. Do you really need 2.24? Actually, the maintainers of gtk2 are working on updates, but they haven't completely finished it and the updated descriptions are in their experimental branches only. What is the oldest version of macOS you want to support? The easiest requirement is 64bit and 10.9 and newer, but if need be stepping back to i386 and 10.7 would also be possible. 

Regarding fink packages, I meant that if the source code of your program is available, I could have a go at a package description.
