I'm running xcode 1.5 and I do have x11user installed,
and yes, I tried re-installing macports. All to no
avail. I've tried a couple other ports, notably gtk2
by itself, and pidgin, and get the same results. I
have, however, been able to successfully install
unrar.
The output you're showing us is not an error, but just the normal
process of figuring out a port's dependencies (with debug output). It
should eventually (up to a few minutes?) begin downloading and
configuring something.
gimp has many many dependencies. You can see the graph here
(generated in October; may be slightly out of date):

It will probably take a very very long time (many hours, if not days)
to install all this on your computer. You'll have to be patient. You
can put your computer to sleep any time and it should resume when you
wake it back up.
Since you're getting debug output, I assume you've typed "sudo port -
d install gimp"? Or what command did you use?
