Thanks for your help.

I tried 'sudo port -f upgrade jpeg; sudo port -fn upgrade gnucash', but 
it made no difference.

As suggested, I have reported the problem on the Gnome/Gnucash Bugzilla as
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466417
(in case anyone wants to follow it's progress)

I  find now that this issue has already been raised as a MacPorts ticket:
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/12323
