Ok, then I'm not sure what to do next, sorry. I don't know much about  
the gtk ports. All I know is gtk-doc installed successfully on my  
system just a few weeks ago.

Of those, MacPorts has thus far only attempted to compile gtk-doc,  
and when that failed, it aborted. The other ports also still need to  
be compiled, but no attempt has been made to do so.

That's the generic error message printed by MacPorts when anything  
goes wrong with a port install. It does not help us figure out what  
went wrong. The specific error message which should tell us what's  
wrong is below that. The fatal error was:

checking for DocBook XML DTD V4.1.2 in XML catalog... not found
configure: error: could not find DocBook XML DTD V4.1.2 in XML catalog

I don't know how to fix this. Try Googling for that error message.
