Hmmm... ok. So it lists them all of them, nicely displayed "language
name [code]" as usual?

What is MacPorts? Is it like a package manager for Mac?

Also I see you run the command "gimp-git.sh quartz". Is there
something particular you do in this script?
Also why the "quartz"? Can you like switch backend at startup or
something (not even at compilation?)? Like between X11 and quartz? How
does this work under OSX, I heard there is X11 too, so are there
layers running on each other? Concurrent systems and you can use one
or the other?
