You should rebuild db3 first (and fink reinstall db3-shlibs if it 
doesn't do it automatically).

As I understand the "node for ... already exists" problem, the following 
happens:
gimp BuildDepends on gnome-libs-dev which in turn BuildDepends on "db3 
(>= 3.3.11-8)". You probably have an earlier version of db3-shlibs 
installed, and when fink constructs its dependency list, it first 
encounters a dependence on db3 without specified version, so it takes 
the one you already have installed. Later on it sees the dependence on 
version  >=3.3.11-8, but it is not intelligent enough to replace the 
earlier dependence on an older version by the newer one.

In any case, the new gimp will need db3-shlibs-3.3.11-8.
