The "hole" effect is made via a Photoshop feature called layer styles. It's easy in Photoshop but GIMP doesn't have layer styles so I think there's no easy way there.

Since this particular logo is simple, you can just look at the basic graphic elements and duplicate them by hand in GIMP. For example:

About three small dark gradients for the shadows.
A copy of the hole-mask, shifted 1px downwards and made to additively blend with the background, producing the highlight effect before the mask is applied to make the hole

And so on.
