I use macports lots, I really like it, but (OSX 10.6.8 8M RAM Gimp 2.8.2) I 
really found the macports version of gimp to cause many problems. I have 
installed 
http://www.petapixel.com/2012/08/29/gimp-is-now-a-self-contained-native-app-for-mac-os-x/

I do not prefer the mac ummm-idiosyncrasy of stealing the menu buttons, which 
this version does (and macports build does not), so I'm biased to the macports 
version but the macports version takes umm 30-60 secs to pass the splash screen 
while scanning plugins, has core-dumped on me and generally runs in a manner 
that make you think about saving your work all the time, not about what you are 
doing.

I have tried a few times to update, clean and rebuild without being satisfied.
