Comment (by ddp at electric-loft.org):

 Just a note that dbus-glib ends up in the dependency graph of firefox-x11
 these days (from gnome-vfs), so this is blocking a lot of other ports...

 Thanks for posting the instructions on how to insert a shadow port
 directory, I've been needing that for a while.  I did have to roll back
 all four
 [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/devel/glib2/files
 patch files] as they were renamed between 2.14.0 and 2.14.4.  The previous
 versions built fine with the
 [http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/devel/glib2/Portfile?rev=27657
 2.14.0 Portfile] and dbus-glib is now happily installed.

 If I may answer the last two folks, no you don't have to delete the local
 port directory you created, but you will want to clean it up at some point
 or it will continue overriding MacPorts.  Then again, being able to freeze
 a particular version of a port could be viewed as a feature, depending on
 what you're trying to build and your personal tolerance to feature creep.
 :-)
