I've started maintaining an irregularly updated list for gtk+ (and a
few other libraries):

http://dev.gentoo.org/~nirbheek/gnome/3.0/slotting/

The script I use to generate these lists is:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/gnome.git;a=blob;f=scripts/slot_rindex.py;hb=HEAD

If you look at the lists in that directory, you'll be able to guess
that there are other libraries which need the same treatment. The list
of these libraries is, however, incomplete right now. We'll be sending
a mail about that later, but folks can fix deps to use slots right now
if they wish.

Thanks to everyone who has fixed deps of their (and other folks') packages!
