libpng14 is very old; MacPorts moved on to libpng15 in September 2012 and libpng16 in December 2013. So either you installed these ports many years ago, and need to upgrade them as Chris suggested, or you installed them recently but then ran an ancient binary installer of gimp which overwrote what MacPorts installed; if the latter, then we don't know what all got overwritten, so your best bet is to uninstall all ports and then reinstall the ones you want.
