I have Gimp2 working just fine under Yosemite, MacPorts v2.3.2 and Xcode 6.1. It was a clean installation - after upgrading to Yosemite, I trashed my old MacPorts installation and started again to avoid trouble.

One simple point - MacPorts puts the launcher for Gimp in the folder /Applications/MacPorts - not directly into /Applications
Did you check in /Applications/MacPorts?

accessible by icons at the Applications Folder and the Launch Pad, and by

The gimp2 port and all its dependencies are apparently correctly installed
and active.

Ports that ?as far as I know? never had shown an access icon (Inkscape,
FreeCAD) can be launched typing its name on a Terminal window.

I cannot get the gimp app running.

The outcome of a Spotlight search for gimp2 gives a series of results that
I do not know how to interpret. Maybe you can advise me. Thank you.
I was debating a ‘me too’ reply since it works for me, but looking in the Apps 
directory shock, horror, gasp it is indeed not there! I always <right click> 
open with gimp and have never noticed it NOT in apps. Platypus is a nice launcher 
creator. For the record: yosemite, macports, gimp.
If you do not like the linux way of handling the menu then the sourceforge 
version of gimp is native and does install a launcher.
