What I meant was: when you are trying to report an error you usually
need to show exactly what is going wrong, because just describing it
vaguely does not often help, because we have to try and guess what you
mean.

It is a knob used by the port framework to override the check for an
existing installation of the package.  It is almost never a good idea
to use it unless you know what you're doing, because it will corrupt
your package database, as you found out:

Now, as for your underlying problem:

I guess one of those libraries needs to be rebuilt.

grep -r /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.la /usr/local/lib /usr/X11R6/lib

should show you the files that need to be rebuilt.  pkg_which will
help you to figure out which port they belong to.
