Comment (by north at znet.com):

 I'd like to take the liberty of pointing out that poppler really doesn't
 do anything important for gimp2. If you're just trying to build gimp, edit
 the gimp2 Portfile and remove the dependency for poppler. It will build
 just fine.

 Many of the gimp developers do this on other platforms because ultimately
 almost nobody uses gimp on pdfs. All other required packages for gimp are
 building on 10.3.9 -- as of today -- and besides, I doubt anyone involved
 actually knows how to get poppler building on Panther anyway.
