Right

the gimp-app port is just an application bundle front-end to the  
gimp.  So in it's quartz variant, it discards the checks for X11 stuff.

To really have a quartz setup, you need to rebuild gtk2, cairo with  
quartz variants, as well as probably much everything that depends on  
gtk2, which should make almost all of your current apps depending on  
gtk2 become useless ... As I said, I did not even think about it ;-)
