I'm not aware of other graphics-related extensions, but two other common
ways of processing images with PHP are to shell out to ImageMagick or
NetPBM. As you look through the various PHP code repositories out
there, you'll probably notice a fair number of scripts that use one of
these two apps.
As for portability, PHP extensions can require certain platforms to
work. Unfortunately Imlib2 falls into this category, because it
doesn't (And almost certainly never will) support Windows.
