Thanks, I'll update to 2.18.4 at the same time that I fix the 64-bit build issues.
Regarding gtk-doc: Are you talking about this issue?

I don't think so. I installed a fresh system with no ports installed at all and attempted an install of port gimp. When it got around to glib2, glib2 build failed trying to build documentation (the default) because no gtk-doc was installed as a dependency. Manually installing gtk-doc (and its dependencies) fixed the problem. I assumed that it had just been a long time since anyone did a fresh install from scratch that this had gone unnoticed.

gtk-doc is supposed to be optional. In what way did it fail without gtk-doc installed?

OK, I took a second look and it does seem to be the problem you reported. Guess it's time to go to bed. Sorry.
At any rate, it needs to be fixed. Something similar to the two that blb mentions perhaps. I see that upstream has made a change in gtk-doc to address the issue but I don't see how that helps if gtk-doc is not installed.
As a separate topic you might want to add a variant to enable gtk-doc in case someone wants it.

Why would someone want it? I don't know what it is.

It's the tool used by GTK+ and GNOME projects to automatically generate API documentation in HTML format from comments in the C code. See http://www.gtk.org/gtk-doc/
Its more of a maintainer function (to rebuild the HTML docs when the API changes) but it is available as a configure option.
Just updated the projects homepage and description text in r45530.

After sleeping on this, I guess I agree that most MacPorts users would not find a gtk-doc variant useful so feel free to disregard my previous request for same.

Hm, nevermind that, the issue is already present with 2.18.3.
