I'd suggest that you install gimp with portinstall (portupgrade -N),
which is supposed to take care of upgrading dependencies. 

Personally, I just bring my existing ports up-to-date before installing
new ports - in the long-term I think it's less hassle if you regard
your own time as more valuable than the CPU's.
