Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Thanks for the pointer. I've read the discussion there now, and the
 current wisdom seems to be that glib2 could be modified to not require
 pkg-config at all ([http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pkg-
 config/2011-May/000758.html using environment variables like
 ZLIB_CFLAGS]). The same would have to happen for dbus, which glib2 uses.
 Then pkg-config could use glib2 without a circular dependency.

 I wouldn't use the word "static" to describe this. The glib2 that's built
 would still be dynamic libraries as they are now. They would just learn
 about their dependencies using environment variables and arguments
 provided in the glib2 Portfile, instead of querying pkg-config.
