You could just install gtk2 from the ports instead of from a package,
and then it will use whatever atk you have installed.  If you install
from a package, then obviously you need the same version installed
that the package was linked against.

Do you mean you updated via cvsup?  Or if you actually mean cvs, then
where was the cvs repository, and how do you know it was up-to-date?
Which collections do you update?

Note that 5.4 hasn't been released yet, so if you are trying to match
the packages against the system, you need to make sure that the
packages area still matches your system's release level (uname -r), as
it has gone from 5.4-PRERELEASE to 5.4-BETA1, so the 5.4-PRERELEASE
directory path no longer exists on the FTP servers.
