that's wrong, split packages are there to build multiple packages from a
single source without the need to duplicate PKGBUILD that use the very
same source.

That's not needed, not everything needs cross-conflicting to all other
packages providing the same.
In your example you simply add to your pasystray-gtk2 package() function
that it conflicts and provides pasystray, thats it.
The pasystray does not need to know anything about the gtk2 variant.
