There is a file, .gtkrc in your home directory that enables you to do
that, but I can't remember where I saw it's syntax.

I run Openbox3; I do have GNOME installed, but that's not relevant for
this point.

In order to have GTK apps appear "normal" under other WMs, I use the
following two programs:

usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon (to load the settings for GTK)

[root@Gentoo] 01:51 PM #equery belongs /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon in *... ]
gnome-base/control-center-2.6.1 (/usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon)

Runtime Dependencies
control-center-2.6.1

>= dev-libs/atk - 1.2
dev-libs/libxml2
>= gnome-base/gconf - 1.2
>= gnome-base/gnome-desktop - 2.2
>= gnome-base/gnome-vfs - 2.2
>= gnome-base/libbonobo - 2.2
>= gnome-base/libbonoboui - 2.2
>= gnome-base/libglade - 2
>= gnome-base/libgnome - 2.2
>= gnome-base/libgnomeui - 2.2
>= gnome-base/nautilus - 2.2
! gnome-extra/acme -
! gnome-extra/fontilus -
media-libs/fontconfig
media-sound/esound
>= x11-libs/gtk+ - 2.3
>= x11-libs/libxklavier - 1.02
>= x11-wm/metacity - 2.4.5
alsa >= media-libs/alsa-lib - 0.9
gstreamer >= media-libs/gst-plugins - 0.8
! gnome-extra/themus -
virtual/xft

and

gtk-chtheme (to change the settings for GTK without having to go through
the GNOME Control Center). This program allows you to change the fonts
used for GTK apps and their size as well.

Runtime Dependencies
gtk-chtheme-0.3.1

>= x11-libs/gtk+ - 2*

So, it could be better in terms of dependencies, but it could be worse, too.

Hope this helps.

I use gtk-chtheme. It allows you to change gtk themes as well as the font and
size. I believe it is currently marked ~x86 (no versions are marked stable on
x86), so you will need to add it to /etc/portage/package.keywords. Read
portage(5) if you have no clue what I'm talking about.
