In KDE there's an option in the control panel to change the GTK theme.
If you use something else, I believe you can emerge gtk-theme-switch.
Also try to search portage for packages beginning with "gtk-engines"
(and perhaps emerge the package "gtk-engines" itself). I recently
switched from gtk-engines-qt, which uses my KDE theme (poorly), to
gtk-engines-qtcurve, which looks quite nice and fits in well enough
with the default KDE4 theme, other than the backwards button
placement.
