Under MacPorts, gtk2 is the GTK+ C libraries, which is half of what
you need to run Gtk2-Perl.  The missing piece for you is the p5-gtk2
port, which contains the Gtk2-Perl modules (Glib, Gtk2, Pango, Cairo).
 There are also other Perl modules that you want to install
(Gtk2::GladeXML maybe?).  A 'port search p5-gtk2' should show you
what's available.

Thanks,
