Running MacPorts alongside of homebrew.

I already have homebrew, but I would like to use MacPorts as well for the ports it has to offer that homebrew doesn't have. Will there be anything going wrong with my system if I run those along with each other? Homebrew is on my system in /usr/local/.

Can I install an earlier version of GTK 2.x?

It looks like MacPorts has GTK 1.2.10, 2.8.20 and 2.12.9 available. I see a gtkmm20 package with a version of 2.2.12, suggesting that maybe 2.2.12 is buried in there somewhere but invisible to me. Is it possible to fetch and install older versions of Gtk2 via MacPorts? Thanks, -- Skip
