hm... I think we have a winner. FreeBSD, by default, only allocates 32MB
max to shm segments. You have a bunch already loaded and gimp wants 7MB
more, and thats probably putting you over the limit. It returns EINVAL if
there isn't enough space available.

You probably need to add
kern.ipc.shmmax="67108864"
to /boot/loader.conf, then reboot your system. This should give you ~64MB
of shm space.
