Yes this is possible. You need to find a theme, other than the current
default themes, with dark colors. You can search on the web for dark
themes for GIMP. Unfortunately you may have more or less luck in such
a search, as sometimes user-made themes may be broken or incomplete.
So you may have to try and test a few before finding the right one.
Some users on the list may be able to direct you to their favorite dark theme.

P.S.: in some future major version, GIMP would be released with
additional default themes, in particular with dark theme options.
Unfortunately current release has no such default dark theme yet.
