Uhm, I did what you had in mind, not what you typed in :) Added the line
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
to /etc/sysctl.conf, and ipcs -a and sysctl show that the line did it's job.
shminfo:
shmmax: 67108864 (max shared memory segment size)
...
But still no change. Gimp spits out the same error message after trying to
load script-fu. How ironic :) The output from ipcs at that point looks like
this:

anyway, I compiled gimp1 (same version as before - 1.2.5,1) from ports with
debugging symbols and WITHOUT_PRINT=yes, and now everything's fine. Odd.

The last three lines being the gimp related processes (62410 and 62423)
and X11 process 269. Hope this makes any sence to you :)
Have a nice week,
