you can use gui.color.a
like so…

#pragma strict
public var x : float = 1;
public var maxChange : float = 0.1;
public var alphaColor  : float = 1;

function OnGUI(){
   gui.color.a = alphaColor ;
}

function Update(){ 
alphaColor = Mathf.MoveTowards(alphaColor, x, maxChange);
if(//whatever){
  x = 1;
}
else if(//whatever2){
x = 0;
}
}

Put this on your GUIText:

function Start(){ 
    guiText.material.color.a = 0;
    yield WaitForSeconds(2);
        FadeIn();
        }  
function FadeIn(){
	while (guiText.material.color.a < 1){
       guiText.material.color.a += 0.1 * Time.deltaTime * 2;
       yield;    
       }  
       yield WaitForSeconds(2);
       FadeOut();  
       }
       
function FadeOut(){
	while (guiText.material.color.a > 0){
       guiText.material.color.a -= 0.1 * Time.deltaTime * 2;
       yield;    
       }    
       Destroy (gameObject);
       }

You could also apply an animation to the text, with alpha values keyframed.
