This error indicates that two ports both want to install the file Long.pm
The solution in this case is:

sudo port -f install p5-getopt-long

This is common problem with p5-* ports that update parts of the perl
5.8 installed by macports.

When you encounter this kind of error, use the above command with the
port in question, and then attempt to install gimp or xgalaga again.

This simply lists everything that port was attempting to install at this time.
