The title says it all really, is it possible to get a transparent background in the Gimp?
Assuming you've just loaded in a flat (ie. single-layered) image, you need to right click the layer in the layers palette and select 'Add alpha channel'. Your layer now supports transparency, which means you can delete bits of it, eg. using the eraser or select / ctrl-K.
