I think the gutters along the side would be a great way to collect water. To do so, you would need three sheets of plastic, sized appropriately. Cover the sides of the greenhouse first, then attach the gutter over top edge of the side covers. Then add the top, putting the edges into the gutter with overlaps between the two pieces for a seal. Here's a diagram that is more clear (I hope). The gutters could drain straight down to rain barrels on the end of the house.

I'm going to try something like this when I build a greenhouse this fall.
