I tried to install gimp, but it took a few hours and many packages were installed. Is this correct? I scrolled back to the beginning of the terminal window and never did see an installation of gimp. The following error messages appeared before the script quit:

Any suggestions here?

It already tells you how to fix it:

--->  Staging p5-pathtools into destroot
You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port

You need:

$ sudo port -f activate p5-pathtools

Then you can proceed to trying to install gimp again.
