After doing a bit more digging around I've tracked it down to a 
problem with xsane-0.999_2 when installed with "pkg install"

Running gimp-app-2.8.10_5,1 and xsane-0.999_2 installed from packages 
on 9,3-RELEASE I get the error message

     Parsing '/home/mike/.gimp-2.8/pluginrc'
     Querying plug-in: '/home/mike/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/xsane'
     /home/mike/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/xsane: GIMP support missing
     Terminating plug-in: '/home/mike/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins/xsane'
     
But after deleting xsane and building the same version (0.999_2) from 
ports with exactly the same options (+DOCS +GIMP +NLS) gimp runs just 
fine and shows the xsane line in the File - Create menu.

Could it be that the copy of xsane-0.999_2 at 
pkg.FreeBSD.org/freebsd:9:x86:64/latest has been corrupted?
