Wayland is already enabled in the current GTK3 build¹ in [extra].
If the Gnome Shell can act as wayland compositor in Gnome 3.10  I think
it can be run by exporting GDK_BACKEND=wayland and running gnome-shell
directly—as it is done with weston (weston-launch).
But I’m not shure if this functionality is avalable in Gnome 3.10
stable.
