You didn't say whether you were on Intel or Apple Silicon so I downloaded both

http://packages.macports.org/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.2_2%2Bx11.darwin_20.x86_64.tbz2

and

http://packages.macports.org/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.2_2%2Bx11.darwin_20.arm64.tbz2

and extracted the contents. In both of those, the files opt/local/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir and opt/local/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixdata-2.0.gir have the correct (absolute path) library reference:

             shared-library="/opt/local/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.0.dylib"

which is as I would have expected since gobject-introspection and gdk-pixbuf2 (and atk) were rev-bumped 6 months ago to fix this problem (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/61699#comment:19). Since you use nonstandard MacPorts prefixes you won't have received those archives but will have built from source, but we would expect the result to be comparable.

Can you show us the output of this command on your system (from https://trac.macports.org/ticket/61699#comment:14):

grep "shared-library" /opt/local/share/gir-1.0/*.gir | grep -v /opt/local/lib

(replacing both occurrences of /opt/local with whatever your MacPorts prefix is).
