GIMP does not have layer styles. (GIMP also does not have a large team of programmers, nor even a team of large programmers...) One way to get a drop shadow on text... (1) in the layers dialogue, make sure the text layer is active (2) duplicate the layer (3) make the lower copy active, right-click on its name and rename it to Shadow (4) use filters->gaussian blur. Probably a radius of 7 pixel would be fine. (5) select the move tool, and then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the layer right 3 pixels and down 3 pixels, to make a shadow. "The Artist's Guide to GIMP" is a book you may find useful.
