Yes, this is caused by the same MacPorts base bug tracked in #61288. We worked around the problem in graphviz & graphviz-devel and, after reporting it to the developers, they fixed the problem at the source. We could similarly work around the problem in the gimp2 port and/or report it to the developers.
