Venturing from the main topic to consider installation of gimp2,
for the case that it will not compile in MacPorts- my PowerPC G4
has a working Gimp installation from pkgsrc:

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html

Actually I have not attempted the MacPorts Gimp installation,
recently experimenting with the NetBSD applications concurrently
with MacPorts.

Obviously, there is a binary as well:  http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/

I am running dports and pkgsrc on the same system. No errors have
I seen and my path includes both in the Bash shell.
