If you had installed guile and slib-guile after already having
installed guile16 and slib-guile16, things may have gotten mixed up.

I'd suggest uninstalling guile, guile16, slib-guile, slib-guile16,
g-wrap, g-wrap16.  Deactivate any previous version of gnucash.  Then
try installing anew (with +guile16), and it should pull in the
required dependencies in the correct order.

(I don't know if macports 1.5 has learned to activate inactive but
installed dependencies?  If so, deactivating the guile stuff instead
of uninstalling would also work and would be quite a bit faster.  On
1.4, it would break things.)
