[/Users/paul]# port list gimp*
gimp                           @2.4            graphics/gimp
gimp-app                       @2.4.0          aqua/gimp-app
gimp-gap                       @2.2.2          graphics/gimp-gap
gimp-jp2                       @0.1            graphics/gimp-jp2
gimp-lqr-plugin                @0.3.0-6        graphics/gimp-lqr-plugin
gimp-print                     @4.2.7          print/gimp-print
gimp-user-manual               @0.13           graphics/gimp-user-manual
gimp2                          @2.4.3          graphics/gimp2

You don't think the first two and the last one are ambiguous?

Or ask what users would expect and do that.
