As maintainer for gimp2, I can't reproduce this problem on the same
problem.  GIMP 2.6.6 installs and works well for me on the same
platform. 

Looks like an X11 problem so make sure that everything is up to date there.

Which X11 server are you using, the one supplied by apple or the
MacPorts version xorg-server.  I am using the latter and recommend it.
Although it should work with either.

Would help to see the full crash.log
