Beto, I don't know if this is a useful data point, but on 5.4-RELEASE I
recently installed xmms from ports, and recall it whinged about the glib
2.6.3 version already installed, but said (as I recall - wish I'd saved
the output) that it would build itself with glib-1.2 anyway, which I
assume it must have.  So I would up with both glibs installed:

paqi# pkg_info | grep "glib\|xmms"
glib-1.2.10_11      Some useful routines of C programming (previous stable vers
glib-2.6.3_1        Some useful routines of C programming (current stable versi
taglib-1.3.1        Library for manipulating ID3 tags and Ogg comments
xmms-1.2.10_3       X Multimedia System --- An audio player with a Winamp GUI

Older versions, I know, but xmms is working fine.
