Some system utility can tell you the "bitness" of the Gimp executable. 
On Linux this would be the "file" command:

>file /usr/bin/gimp-2.8
/usr/bin/gimp-2.8: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 
(SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for 
GNU/Linux 2.6.32, 
BuildID[sha1]=0d7d1efafc28d041a904a773cf3cb9e1b2532743, stripped

"file" is part of Unix since 1973 so it possibly exists on OSX.
