I had the same problem, but atk was installed with version 1.12.2_0.  
After an uninstall, selfupdate and install of atk, gtk2 builds  
without problems. selfupdate was up to date before the try to  
uninstall, selfupdate and install of atk!

Here my log:

I wanted to install atk first, but it was installed:
$ sudo port install atk && sudo port install gtk2

Error: Target com.apple.install returned: Registry error: atk  
1.12.2_0 already registered as installed.  Please uninstall it first.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I searched for atk in macports directory to see if something was  
wrong there.
$ find /opt/local -name atk
/opt/local/include/atk-1.0/atk
/opt/local/share/gtk-doc/html/atk
/opt/local/var/...

For me it seemed that atk is installed correctly, nevertheless I  
tried to reinstall atk with a selfupdate.

$ sudo port uninstall atk
...
$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
DarwinPorts base version 1.320 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.320
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!
$ sudo port install atk && $ sudo port install gtk2
...

Now it works, but I don't really understand what was difference  
between the first and the second try.
The Portfile should be the same if selfupdate prints "installation is  
not outdated".
Maybe an issue with atk or port ?

Greets,
