I haven't looked in detail, just a couple of comments:
- If the GTK2 and GTK3 versions are built from the same source, then a split
GTK2/GTK3 package is the way to go. Having separate PKGBUILDs for each
version just doubles the maintenance work for no good reason (every fix and
update would need to be applied twice).
- You should remove the install files that run commands already handled by
hooks. See https://www.archlinux.org/todo/hooks-part-1/
