Hm, "gimp" is not ambigious. But maybe the ports should be named
different. gimp and gimp2 are just too confusing, I think.

[/Users/paul]# port list gimp*

gimp                           @2.4            graphics/gimp

gimp-app                       @2.4.0          aqua/gimp-app

gimp-gap                       @2.2.2          graphics/gimp-gap

gimp-jp2                       @0.1            graphics/gimp-jp2

gimp-lqr-plugin                @0.3.0-6        graphics/gimp-lqr-plugin

gimp-print                     @4.2.7          print/gimp-print

gimp-user-manual               @0.13           graphics/gimp-user-manual

gimp2                          @2.4.3          graphics/gimp2

You don't think the first two and the last one are ambiguous? 

Solutions:
a) Rename gimp2 to gimp and gimp to gimp-extra
b) Leave gimp as it is and rename gimp2 to gimp-base

Or ask what users would expect and do that.
