It does; that is part of the problem.

Changing the default linux_base won't help.

Including the GTK+ library in the linux_base 7.1 port/package, as I
suggested, is a proper way to solve it.  Another would be to enhance the
packaging utilities so they can parse information like "linux-gtk port
works fine with either linux_base 7.1 or linux_base 8.0".  NetBSD has this
capability.
