I have compared the current Macports build of Gimp with +quartz and the one downloaded from gimp.org. They look mostly the same but they are slightly different.
The Macports one has old-fashioned rounded buttons with big round corners (almost half circles). The downloaded one has the more modern buttons with tiny corners.
AFAIK, the GIMP UI is completely based on GTK. The look-and-feel should depend on the theme. I think the look-and-feel is emulated, and does not use the native MacOS widgets. But I have the same theme in both cases (Default). I looked in the theme directory and they are equal. So maybe it comes down to a different GTK implementation.
