Hi, Chris!

You said that you can upgrade glib manually, so it has something to do 
with portmanager.

As sourceforge site says:
"As of 2006-01-19 0:00:00 UTC, this project is no longer under active 
development."

Indeed that means that project is dead for more then 4 years.
Would you consider to give ports-mgmt/portmaster a try?
It is light, fast, has no external dependencies, well supported and 
polished software, that follows present FreeBSD ports collection trends.

What features portmanager have that portmaster doesn't?

If you still need to use portmanager, then increasing values of 
vm.pmap.shpgperproc and kern.ipc.maxpipekva sounds reasonable to fix the 
issues with this program.
