Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 The process for returning to a previous version of a port is documented in
 the wiki page [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort howto/InstallingOlderPort].

 It sounds like the issue can be reduced to glib2 did not activate, because
 there was a conflicting file. I don't know why there was a conflicting
 file; the file it mentions is a part of glib2 and should have been
 registered to the previous version of glib2, just as it is now registered
 to the current version of glib2. Unless you want to investigate this
 further, you should force the activation with
 {{{
 sudo port -f activate glib2 @2.26.1_1
 }}}
 to force MacPorts to move the conflicting files out of the way.

 The reason having Fink and MacPorts installed at the same time is not
 supported is that software installed with Fink can cause unexpected
 failures building software with MacPorts. "Not supported" means it might
 work, but we can't help you if it doesn't. I strongly recommend you decide
 whether to use MacPorts or Fink, and uninstall the other. If the reason
 you were using Fink is that it has software you need that is not in
 MacPorts, you can file port request tickets in our issue tracker; maybe we
 can add that software to MacPorts.
