I started the thread on the beginners list to which Alexander refers, and my error is slightly different. Gimp complains that 2.1.4 of FreeType is installed, which is corroborated by Fink.
As Alexander said, gimp2-2.2.4 does not use Fink's freetype packages but takes whatever version of freetype is installed in /usr/X11R6. In your case this is freetype version 2.1.4, because you have xfree86-4.4.0 installed. If you had Apple's X11 installed, it would be 2.1.0 (misrepresented by gimp2 as "0.1.0").
It doesn't matter which X server or window manager you are running, what counts is which library sits in /usr/X11R6. In both cases, Apple's X11 or xfree86-4.4.0, gimp2 refuses to run, because it wants version 2.1.7 or higher. You would have this if you had the X11 from the xorg package installed. I assume that the maintainer of gimp2 has xorg installed, so that he didn't notice this problem.
This is definitely a bug in the gimp2 package and needs to be fixed by the maintainer. He needs to make it depend on Fink's freetype219 package instead of the freetype libraries inside /usr/X11.
