Same with other dependents of GTK3.

But none of those are in the recursive dependencies of transmission-x11 so they shouldn't have caused this problem, so I don't know. Can you attach a log? Or debug output? Maybe it will show which port is pulling in the dependency for gtk3 when you already have gtk3-devel.

Log from 10.6.8

I think the problem is still there, though I have no idea what causes it.

For sure the issue is unresolved. This is on 10.8.5:

Does the file /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/gtk+-3.0.pc exist?

It should. If it doesn't, that would explain why MacPorts is trying to install gtk3, and the investigation should focus on why that file doesn't exist.

Yes, it exists. Here is a clean Macports 2.9.3 on a standard 10.6.8 x86 (no custom ports, everything up-to-date):

10:~ svacchanda$ port -v installed gtk3-devel
The following ports are currently installed:
