Comment (by ryandesign):

 Yes, this is caused by the same MacPorts base bug tracked in #61288. We
 worked around the problem in graphviz & graphviz-devel and, after
 reporting it to the developers, they fixed the problem at the source. We
 could similarly work around the problem in the gimp2 port and/or report it
 to the developers.
