The scripts gtk-config and glib-config get installed by ports Makefiles as
gtkNN-config and glibNN-config, where NN is a digit-pair formed from the major
and minor verion numbers. Obviously, the FreeBSD people must do this to allow
multiple versions of Gtk+ to co-exist, but many ports' configure scripts do not
get patched to look for the new names. 

You can make a symlink if you're only running one version of Gtk+. The scripts
are placed in /usr/X11R6/bin.
