Comment(by ratogi@…):

 I happened to have handy another system where I hadn't recently updated
 MacPorts, so it still had the Portfile for gtk2 2.18.8.  With that, I was
 able to do the following workaround:

 1. Deactivate (not deinstall) currently active gtk2 @2.20.1_0+x11
 port[[BR]]
 2. Move the 2.20.1 Portfile out of the way (in
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/x11/gtk2)
 and replace it with the 2.18.8 Portfile.[[BR]]
 3. port install gtk2 (which will install and activate 2.18.8).[[BR]]
 4. gnome-terminal should now successfully build and install.[[BR]]
 5. Deactivate gtk2 @2.18.8_0+x11 and reactivate gtk2 @2.20.1_0+x11.

 This seems to have worked fine for me; I haven't run into any
 functionality issues with gnome-terminal so far in a few hours of normal
 use.

 Hope that helps...
