I'm working on the OS X flavor of GIMP
and I need to make ©, (c), copyright mark in a GIMP text box
but not sure if it is possible
is there a way other than importing a png/jpg of one?

This is possible. Well, I use Windows XP, if I press ALT+0169 in a text  
editor a © is typed. This do not work in text tool. You need to open a  
diferent text editor, write a special char, copy, and paste in text tool.

Press Ctrl-Shift-U and enter the Unicode hex value (which is A9 for the
copyright symbol).

Do the "normal" mac shortcuts work?  IIRC the copyright symbol is option-g
