I've managed to build gimp from source on a mac 10.6.6. The instructions at http://clockwork.fr/how-to-compile-gimp-271-on-snow-leopard/ were mostly correct for me. I have to reinstall macport and install git. (FYI, the git package does not create the git script in the usual path, so you have to add a sym link after the install.) I also have to install gettext form source because macport refused to upgrade it to the version needed.
The autogen line for the gegl line was not quite right. I think it should be ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.7 --disable-gtk-doc --disable-docs or something like that. I think I have to add that to gimp's autogen as well. After gimp finished building, it is a binart in /opt/gimp-2.7/bin. You have to start up xdarwin then run gimp using the terminal command gimp-2.7 --display=:0.0. Hope this helps others.
