I'll look at UPDATING again but from what I see devel/pkgconf is supposed to be a drop in replacement for devel/pkg-config that solves a bootstrapping problem between pkg-config and devel/glib. I'm not convinced on "drop in" if devel/pkg-config says the the include files for gio-unix-2.0 are in "/usr/local/include" while devel/pkgconf says that they are in "/usr/local/include/usr/local/include/usr/local/include". To hedge my bets I'm using csup to revert the ports collection on my machine to before the change.
