Just to explain a bit further: shared library version numbers are there for a reason. Shared library version numbers are NOT bumped up just on a whim. If the GNOME developers decided that the changes to the library were so great that it needed a version number bump, then the library is most probably INcompatible with what it was before. If an application needs the new library version, it probably needs some of the new library features. Do NOT try to link/run it against the old library. As Ade said, update your ports. G'luck, Peter -- I am the thought you are now thinking.
