You can add a new layer, transparent.
Then select the "T"  [add text to image], click anywhere in the image, select 
font, type the text in the preview window, click OK. (Font color will be the 
current foreground color.)

You can then move the text to wherever on the image you want it, and 
then click the anchor on the Layers, Channels & Paths window to stick it 
in place.

If you have several bits of type, and aren't sure of the placement, put each 
on a separate new layer. You can then move them separately to get things 
just right.

If you want fancier type, you can use script-fu / logos to generate the text, 
then lose the background before you paste that onto your new picture layer.
