I am using XCode 4.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.
And I didn't file a bug report because I first wanted to find out if it wasn't a trivial problem. Which it appeared to be.

I recently has added a binpath to macports.conf so that inkscape-textext would find pdflatex in my MacTeX installation and not pull in a whole new texlive distribution. However I had copied the line from some post I found on the internet, and it had /usr/bin before /opt/local/bin. Now I have changed the order and gimp2 builds without problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.
