Boy, you're not very good at reading instructions, are you?

Yes, Gtk-OSX is incompatible with MacPorts (or Fink) and it says so on the build page in a box with really big letters. Pretty hard to miss.

Your current problem is from building 64-bit. Follow the link on the Build page to the Snow Leopard page and read that.

I don't know what versions MacPorts is building these days, and I haven't bumped the stable moduleset lately, so it's not the most current release. But you can build the current svn trunk by using the unstable moduleset. Obviously I think that building via Gtk-OSX is superior to MacPorts, but you might find otherwise.
