I don't know if I cc'ed the list on my reply or not. 

One additional piece of information, when something strange like this 
happens, check cvsweb at http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/. The history of 
freebsd source is there as a series of web pages and, in this case, you 
can see where gimp-devel was moved into gimp. When that has been done 
and you are having problems, you have to assume up front that your 
supfile or mirror is messed up. That may not be true but it is a 
starting point.

Mirrors occasionally get locked up and the only way you can find out is 
to try a different one and watch what happens.
