It doesn't really help. If I create ${prefix}/etc/xml, then when  
activating libglade2, a file ${prefix}/etc/xml/catalog is created,  
but it is empty, and I still get:

--->  Activating libglade2 @2.6.3_0
Error: Target org.macports.activate returned: shell command  
"xmlcatalog --noout --add system http://glade.gnome.org/ 
glade-2.0.dtd /mp/share/xml/libglade/glade-2.0.dtd /mp/etc/xml/ 
catalog" returned error 3
Command output: add command failed
