I think that you are correct.  When I had done port outdated, one  
thing that showed was gimp-user-manual.  I then did port upgrade  
outdated and a bunch of things upgraded.  I saw the above error, after  
info about gimp-jp2 and before info about qt4-mac, with no mention of  
any other port, so I assumed that it related to gimp-jp2.  But, after  
I got your email I checked and found that gimp-user-manual had not  
upgraded.  So that probably was the error.  So the message was even  
more cryptic then I had thought.

That is a useful clue,
