There is no facility in MacPorts for installing an earlier version of  
a port. You can do it manually if you wish:

I have no idea what this is. I experience no problems installing glib  
2.12.13 on 10.4.10 Intel, Xcode 2.4.1, MacPorts 1.5, but perhaps  
something is different on your beta version of Mac OS X.

I see a similar error reported with a different port earlier, but no  
responses to that message:
