Yes, I think you're right. The I2C pins should only be set up if I2C
support for PXA is in fact enabled. If someone manages to build a kernel
which has support for this driver (which should depend on the I2C core
as its transport layer) but not for PXA I2C, that's an unfortunate
exception.
You could think about something like
select I2C_PXA if RTC_DRV_DS1307
in the Colibri block of mach-pxa/Kconfig, but that's somewhat overdone
maybe.

Yes, that'd be nice.

Hmm, GPIOs for peripherals that are assembled on the module itself can
safely be configured unconditionally as it is impossible to use them for
anything else. For GPIOs that are allocted by a specific base board,
things are different though, especially for the the Colibri eval board
with it hundreds of jumpers on it. It's a convenience feature to have
them free for general purpose use just by disabling a certain config
directive.
