Do you have reason to believe this is specific to MacPorts? If not, you should report the problem to the developers of the software.

See also #32652, a similar report but for gvfs.

I can't remember seeing this error on any Linux box before.

Also, if I choose the online version of the user manual (Preferences->Help System), I get a similar are error when I open help:

help Message

Could not open 'http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-help.xml' for reading: Operation not supported

Perhaps you are missing GIO backends and need to install GVFS?

I'm under the impression there is something fundamentally wrong with gvfs...

Is this still a problem with the current version?

Yes, the +gvfs variant still fails to open remote image files. The online help system works now as expected, however.

But it's not specific to gimp:

$ gio info https://trac.macports.org/chrome/site/MacPorts.png
gio: https://trac.macports.org/chrome/site/MacPorts.png: Operation not supported

Might be a dupe of #32652
