Did you bother to look in /Applications/MacPorts?
The MacPorts gimp port *also* installs Gimp.App in that location whose
icon you would have seen if you had bothered to look.

I'm not sure the gimp port does by default: I think it's the meta-port. But the description of gimp vs gimp-app doesn't make it clear to me. 

[/Users/paul]:: port info gimp
gimp 2.4, Revision 3, graphics/gimp (Variants: universal, macosx, animation)
http://www.gimp.org/

This is a META port for the gimp2 which includes help and documentation, support for icns, jp2000 and RAW formats, content-aware rescaling Gutenprint and scanner frontends and even a nice theme (Nodoka). Mac OS X users also get a Gimp.app bundle, a "Show in Finder" menu and clipboard integration.

Library Dependencies: icns-gimp, gimp-jp2, gimp-lqr-plugin, gimp-user-manual, gtk-nodoka-engine, gutenprint, ufraw, xsane, gimp-app, macclipboard-gimp, macfile-gimp

If you do 
sudo port install gimp
you get the metaport installed and therefore, as you say Gimp.App is also installed in /Applications/Macports.

To install directly (no metaport and so no Gimp.App) you must do
sudo install gimp2.

Since he talked about the gimp port and not the gimp2 port it appeared he had done the former not the later.  ;)
