I'd keep "gnash" as the beginning of whatever naming convention
("Klash" and all other variants appear confusing to me). Why not
"gnash-gtk", "gnash-sdl", ...?)

BTW, gtk-gnash is ambiguous (what *renderer* is that?).

Yes, that would be nice :)

Sounds good.

It should always possible to build only one exact GUI/renderer
combination if desired, of course.
