-----------------------+--------------------------------
 On first launch of Gimp.app, the dialog box whose screen capture is
 attached appears. It says:

 {{{
 It appears that you are using GIMP for the first time.  GIMP will now
 create a folder named '/Users/aronnax/Library/GIMP/2.8' and copy some
 files to it.

 Creating folder '/Users/aronnax/Library/GIMP/2.8'...
 Copying file '/Users/aronnax/Library/GIMP/2.8/gtkrc' from
 '/Applications/MacPorts/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc'...
 Could not open
 '/Applications/MacPorts/GIMP.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gimp/2.0/gtkrc'
 for reading: No such file or directory
 }}}

 If you click "Quit" and then re-launch Gimp.app, it gets further, but if
 you delete the directory ~/Library/GIMP, then you will get the dialog box
 again.

 The attached Portfile fixes it.
