That's a fault found in many ports. Hidden dependencies.
Many ports autoconfigure themselves to use external libraries if they 
are installed at build time. Too bad sometimes they are not registrared 
as dependencies in the port, so port management tools cannot guess the 
right upgrade sequence. icu has been previuosly upgraded but gtk was not 
rebuilt.
On my server I've just worked around a bunch of such errors regarding 
libpcre...

Only way is manually rebuild the dependent port, in your case gtk, and 
then resume the automated build waiting for the next error.
