In GIMP an Image Pipe or Animated Brush is the equivalent of PSP's Picture Tubes. In fact, GIMP has the ability to import PSP Picture Tubes and save them as Image PIpes. So I figured we should be able to do the same.

The script works like this. Gimp Animated Brushes or Image Pipes are just a collection of regular GIMP brushes. So, what I do is I calculate the final size of the image, then save out each brush head as a PNG file, importing them back in and copying them into the final image. This is very slow when dealing with large brushes.

I am working on a way to make this faster by pre-making the final image instead of slowly loading images in. But for now, this should, hopefully, suffice.
