MacPorts prints its location anytime an error occurs. Quoting from before:

That was from FritzS's system; it's possible you've configured your system to have it at a different location, so just use the location MacPorts prints on your system. You can also use the command "port logfile gimp-help-en" to see the location printed again. Note that if a port builds successfully, its log is deleted; if you want to keep logs even for successful builds, set "keeplogs yes" in macports.conf.

Yes, sorry, I don't use gimp and am not familiar with it. That sounds nice though and if we don't already have a way to install that in MacPorts then we should certainly get one.
