Tarballs typically include build instructions, including a description
of build deps.  Here's an excerpt from the README in the root directory
of the evolution-2.0.1 tarball:

DEPENDENCIES
------------

In order to build Evolution you need to have the full set of GNOME 2.2
(or greater) development libraries installed.

GNOME 2.2 or greater comes with most of the modern distributions, so
in most cases it should be enough to just install all the devel
packages from your distribution.

Please make sure you have the most recent versions of the libraries
installed, since bugs in the libraries can cause bugs in Evolution.

Additional dependencies, besides the stock GNOME libraries (the
dependencies should be compiled in the order they are listed here):

	* [If compiling against GNOME 2.2] libgnomecanvas 2.2.0.2 or
          later

	  If you have a GNOME 2.2 installation, you need to upgrade
	  libgnomecanvas to this version (or a later one), since
	  Evolution exposes a bug in the older versions of the library
	  which causes a crash.

	* [If compiling against GNOME 2.2] libbonobo and libbonoboui 2.4

	* gnome-icon-theme 1.2.0 or later

	* ORBit 2.9.8 or later

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libsoup
	
	* libsoup 2.2.0 or later

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libsoup

	* evolution-data-server 1.0.0 or later

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/evolution-data-server

	* gtkhtml 3.2.0 or later

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gtkhtml

	* gal 2.2.0 or later

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gal

	* [Optional] Mozilla NSPR/NSS libraries

	  These are needed if you want to compile Evolution with SSL and S/MIME
	  support.

	     http://www.mozilla.org/

          Many distributions ship these as Mozilla development
          packages.

	* [Optional] gnome-pilot 2.0 or later

	  This is only necessary if you want to be able to synchronize
	  your Palm device with Evolution.

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-pilot
	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-pilot-conduits

	* [Optional] gnome-spell 1.0.1 or later

	  This is only necessary if you want to have the spell
	  checking functionality in Evolution's message composer.

	     ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-spell

So no, Gnome 2.8 isn't needed.  I'm running 2.0.1 on Gnome 2.6.
