When trying to install the GIMP, I get this little nasty:

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: gimp2 py25-gtk py25-cairo py25-numeric python25 py25-gobject Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
Now, I tried installing python 2.5 independently with a package, that seemed to work fine, but I still get the same error (I was hoping it would detect the installed dependency and move on, but alas, it does not).
Any help overcoming this setback would be greatly appreciated, because I'm running out of ideas right now.
You are presumably on a 64-bit PowerPC machine, as in a G5? What version of Mac OS X, Xcode and MacPorts are you using?
