The gimp port is actually just a meta port that defines dependencies on
many other ports, including the gimp2 port that provides the actual
binaries of GIMP. If you want to apply additional patches, take a look
at the port gimp2 instead of gimp.

In particular, you need to eidt master_sites and supply your own tarball
with the sources, or add patches to the patchfiles line to apply these
before building.

How exactly you would do this depends a lot on what you want to change.
To understand the syntax of Portfiles in more detail, take a look at the
portfile man page (using 'man portfile') and the guide at [1].
