I've administred a couple of Solaris boxes for a longer time but I
haven't seen any advantage in installing each and every library into 
their own prefix. But of course that's up to you...

you should also tweak the PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable to include
/opt/glib2.0.6/lib/pkgconfig (and of course the paths to all the other
packages you are going to install later).

This is all explained pretty well in the link which is mentioned at
the bottom of the file INSTALL in the glib tarball:
