I think you're missing the point. I'm specifically trying to build an 
old gtkmm version because as you may recall, versions prior to 2.4 had a 
different API from more recent ones. I don't particularly want to use 
this version (or maybe I do in order to support some some old source 
code that I don't care to upgrade, but that's not the point now) - I'm 
just trying to  make sure it is possible to build a lib with the "old" 
API if you want to.

And I'm talking about MacPorts; maybe this wasn't as obvious as I though 
from my original post. There is a separate port for "Gtkmm 2.0", and 
it's broken, and I wanted to see if I could fix it, since I actually 
wrote the "portfile" for it a long time ago.
