One method:


Use Layer/Text/Text to path to extract the path
Duplicate the path
Use the Move tool (in "Path" mode) to shift one of the two paths, so that one is the outline of the text on the top/front, and one the outline of the text of the bottom/back
Use the path-inbetweener script from here to generate intermediate paths, about one or two pixels apart
Set the brush to a small brush (1x1) and use the stroke-visible-paths script from the same place to stroke all the paths.
