Support for GtkComboBox (as Gtk2::ComboBox) was added to Gtk2 in 1.040, which
is a year and a half old.  Pester the package maintainers to upgrade --
current is 1.10x.

In the meantime you can do a tarball install.  If there is any breakage, let
us know immediately; i haven't built Gtk2 on my Powerbook since upgrading to
10.4.

To head off other questions, you'd change the contents of the Gtk2::ComboBox's
menu by changing the contents of the Gtk2::TreeModel you associate with the
combo box.
