It's not a gtkrc for pan, but for gtk+, the widget-set pan is designed 
and built against.

See if your system is exporting the GTK2_RC_FILES variable and where it 
points.  Here, using KDE-3, set to use the same color-scheme for GTK, I 
can see that by opening a konsole (terminal) window and typing 
"export|grep GTK" at the bash prompt.  However, as it's set by KDE, it's 
not exported using some launch methods, so I set it manually in my pan 
starter scripts so it's consistent no matter how I choose to start pan.

If you're using GNOME and presumably if you're using XFCE, you probably 
have a gtkrc2 file somewhere, with the related gtk config for those.  If 
you're using KDE, as I mentioned, it'll set one up as well, provided you 
have the box in the colors control panel applet set to apply colors to 
non-KDE apps.  Otherwise, you may or may not have one.  Probably the 
easiest way to get one in that case would be to install an appropriate 
GTK2 theme.

However, even then, as I mentioned, it's not the default to let you set 
them yourself, and I've long forgotten the setting to allow it.

If you're having trouble, it's probably easiest to simply do it by hand, 
editing the accels.txt dump in ~/.pan2 (by default) or using the pre-
sorted version I posted.  That should work regardless of the gtkrc 
setting or lack thereof.
