There is a patch for such a thing for GIMP in bugzilla (with GEGL as a
product). I do not think this is a very good idea though.

GEGL already has too many blending modes (36) to be meaningfully
presented to most users. I guess it would make sense to trim down the
existing set, and perhaps offer the more arcane modes (both existing
GIMP ones and arcane ones from other software, in an additional
sub-menu.)
