Can I use Macports for Gimp maintenance?

We've made major strides in Mac performance since November of last year. On
Gimp2, this has been stable since the last two releases (I believe), aka
2.10.30 and 2.10.32.

For 2.99.10, we've gotten huge drawing performance improvements and this is
even further improved for 2.99.12 (upcoming). These are all based on
changes to Gtk3 (thanks to @jralls) and are not backported to Gtk2.

You can see this on https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/gimp-macos-build on
the gimp-2-10 branch and the master branch (for 2.99).

The nightlies for 2.99 are here:
https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/GNOME/gimp-macos-build?branch=master&filter=all

Then click the right wedge to drill down to the individual steps.
Click on the build-gimp-2-99-and-package step.
Click on ARTIFACT
Download the dmg file.
