You need an OSX user to give a proper answer.

Gimp does not come with any fonts. It uses the fonts installed in the system,
which might be very many. In linux I can disable many of the never-used fonts to
reduce the number seen by Gimp.

This is reasonably up-to-date and might give a clue to a suitable font manager. 
(w*w*w.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html un-mux the url - it kicked in some sort
of protection by the forum software)

Any fonts that *only* you will only use with Gimp should go in your gimp
profile. Something like /Users/MyName/Library/Application Support/Gimp/2.8/fonts
if that is what is used these days.
