Yesterday. r153733 removed the run time dependency on epiphany from gimp2.
Perhaps you need to update your ports?

sudo port selfupdate

Yes, this is over kill but it makes sure that you don't have
any spurious +x11 dependencies of epiphany laying around to bite you.

For instance gnome-desktop is another dependency of epiphany that
requires +x11.  In fact, it's what brought gcr in.

epiphany -> gnome-desktop -> gcr

But you could do this instead, I guess.

sudo port deactivate rdepof:epiphany and active
sudo port install gimp2 +x11

Anyway no need to install gtk3 +x11 unless you really want to for
other reasons (and it will conflict with gimp2 +quartz of course)

No problem.  I'm just not communicating well today.
