For "Poster"-tab to appear in the printer properties dialog you need:
- KDE-3.1 (it's not in 3.0.x)
- poster utility as downloaded from http://printing.kde.org/downloads
- "poster" executable accessible through your PATH variable

Second point is that I never tried the "poster" utility on EPS
generated by gimp, so I don't know where the fault is to be found.
Could anybody with a running poster setup make the test for me?
(I'm not running Linux these days).

Michael.
