I tried to install gimp2 but it failed because macports couldn't build libgsf. Here the shell output:

I see the same, also on Snow Leopard.

Latest version that does compile on my computer is libgsf-1.14.15 (found on ​http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/libgsf/1.14/) ...

It looks like this has been fixed with an update to gdk-pixbuf2.

Yep. Seems so. Compiles fine now with the latest version of gdk-pixbuf2.
