Comment (by toralf at procaptura.com):

 The newer software version as included in the "gtkmm" port has an
 incompatible API, though, so if "gtkmm20" is really what he needs, it
 won't help him much. This is why gtkmm20 is a separate port...

 Also, the problem appears to be that the Gtk+ API has changed at some
 point. It's not supposed to, but I guess the functions in question were
 considered to be "private" and therefore not subject to the strict rules
 otherwise imposed on updates to the Gtk sources (generally, no-one is
 allowed to change function interfaces.)

 I actually have a patch that fixes this problem, but the compilation still
 fails because of a similar problem with another class - so more work is
 needed...
