In fact the gtk 1.2 series is supposed to be binary compatible, ie a later version should work with an earlier version, so this may be a problem with how the package was built and what the library is called on your system. On my FreeBSD machine the gtk library (installed from ports) is libgtk12.so.2 (this is version 1.2.6). Maybe it was called something else on the machine where the package was built. You could try symlinking your gtk library to whatever it is that the package is looking for, or you could just try building the port. I'm fairly sure I've upgraded my gtk (from the ports) since installing xfce and gnome, and have had no problems. On fast machines and with reasonable internet connections, I'd always use the ports rather than the packages. R.
