Comment (by ryandesign):

 I am not familiar with the code of the gimp project so I can't really give
 specific advice. I just suggest you don't spend too much time trying to
 fix problems in the 4½-year-old version of gimp we're offering in this
 port today. It seems likely to me that anybody else trying to build gimp
 would have encountered the same syntax error you did and would have fixed
 it in the upstream repository long ago. Therefore updating the port to a
 newer version is likely the best thing to try first.

 Instructions for how to contribute to MacPorts are in
 [https://guide.macports.org the MacPorts Guide] but if that's more effort
 than you wish to put in I understand; the suggestion to update the port
 was really more directed at the port's maintainers, to whom the ticket is
 assigned, but anyone can file pull requests to update ports if they would
 like to.
