I would descend to 4910 (or above) outbound in the hold. After passing 20 DME, descend at your leisure to 2610. I'm assuming that the 2610 is also the platform altitude for the ILS so there is no hurry to get down. No rush to "dive off" the altitude, especially nowadays when CDA's are encouraged.
Except that both the 28.8FQG and 10.2LJG are required to be crossed AT 2630'. I would guess that this would be for traffic separation. My answer would be to descend in the hold so as to cross the IAF AT 4930'. Because it is a mandatory altitude, if you can't make it, another turn in the hold would be in order. Once crossing the IAF at 4930', descend to cross 28.8FQG AT 2630' and if that's the platform altitude, maintain it until the FAF (or glide slope intercept if an ILS).

The lines above and below an altitude with "AT" indicate a mandatory altitude and not an AT OR ABOVE altitude which would be indicated by just a line below the altitude.
