Anything 1.3 and above is hard masked in the package.mask file. The only
way that you will be able to get around this is to comment out the 
>=media-gfx/gimp-1.3
line in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask file.

You can also try adding the line to /etc/portage/package.unmask file and
see if it supercedes the one in /usr/portage/profiles. I am not sure how
that is checked, so that might work for you as well.

HTH.
