Different versions of ports...

Hi folks,

I've recently started playing around with X and various desktop managers.
There is one point that seems a little troublesome however...  after
recently browsing about the installed ports/packages on my system, it
appears that different programs require different versions of one
particular package.  Here is one such instance:

glib-1.2.10_10                      =   up-to-date with port
glib-2.2.3                          =   up-to-date with port

Is this going to cause any trouble at some later point?  If so, what would
be the best way to remove the earlier version and be sure that only the
newest version remains?

Thank you for your help,
John W.
