At http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/attachment/wiki/CodeSnippets/gimp-gdal.c, you'll 
find the source for a GIMP plugin that can open GDAL datasets.

Instructions how to build (on Unix), install and use are in the header of the 
file.

More fun than really usefull though, as (to the extent of my knowledge) GIMP 
must open entirely the dataset into memory at loading. So unless you have 
much RAM and patience, you won't be able to open big datasets.

Enjoy.
