Oxygen has now been ported mostly correctly to Gtk and is in portage. 
Simply emerge "x11-themes/oxygen-gtk" and select "oxygen-gtk" System 
Settings (if you have kde-misc/kcm_gtk installed).  The good thing about 
this is that it's not "just a theme" with static pixmaps and colors, but 
actually honors the Oxygen settings from KDE.

This is GIMP running with it:
