I'm not sure of any way to do this within GIMP. I was able to to this in Scribus[1] however, by following these instructions: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Text_on_a_Path Then I was able to set the text width to 50%. Then selecting the text, doing Object->Convert->To Path, then File->Export->SVG I was able to make a SVG file that could be opened inside of GIMP. It's a somewhat clumsy method, but maybe it will work?
