If not, we should probably bump the minimum GLib and GTK+ versions after the Wireshark 1.6 branch is created. This would let us clean up quite a bit of code in the trunk.
The one thing I know that we'd lose support for is vanilla Solaris 10 (it comes with glib-2.4 and gtk-2.4.9). I've got dozens of systems running Wireshark like that, but I also know that my days of doing so are numbered.
