No, GTK does not look native on either Windows/Mac. There are themes to improve the visual differences, and there are also some projects working on making GTK look and behave more natively, such as IGE-mac, GTK Quartz.
All in all, GTK on Windows is closer to native than GTK on Mac, so it should be possible to get a native looking GTK on Windows with a little effort. If you really need a toolkit that looks native on Windows/OSX/X11, and you’re not limited to C, I think QT is a little closer to accomplishing that than GTK is at the moment.
