Courtesy of my system:

[sauvagine%] ls -l /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin  30 Jul  5 13:16 /opt/local/lib/libgtk- 
x11-2.0.dylib@ -> libgtk-x11-2.0.0.1000.13.dylib
[sauvagine%] port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is provided by: gtk2


A symbolic link could be created to whitespace, although the fact  
that the file is reported as having 0 size would indicate to me that  
the file really is pointing to an empty string.
