That may not be necessary.  I'm building gtk20 on a freshly installed
virtual machine with a freshly portsnap'd ports tree.  I noticed the
following in the CVS logs:
CVS log for ports/x11-toolkits/gtk20/Makefile

- update png to 1.5.10

Since png just changed, and the error you encountered is "failed to
load "./apple-red.png": Couldn't recognize the image file", I think
you may have run into a bug.  I'll find out in the morning when the
build is done.
