It has been almost ten years since I worked with GEOTIFF files, but IIRC they are just TIFF files with a couple extra tags telling you where the image is geospatially located. That should mean that GIMP can open a GEOTIFF fine, but there are no guarantees that it can keep the tags if you then save it. Note, I haven't checked this in a long long time, but it did work then.
