So since you already had gtk2 installed, you should have used "port  
upgrade gtk2" instead of "port install gtk2". To work around it now,  
you should uninstall the old version, like you did:

Then activate the new version, like you did:

So now gtk2 is installed properly.

Ok, you didn't have gail installed, so you didn't run into the error  
Anders mentioned.
