Manually extracting the python26 package "/opt/local/var/macports/software/python26/python26-2.6.6_3.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2" I see the Headers simlink is in the package.
$ ls -la opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Headers
lrwxr-xr-x  1 brad  staff  17 Jun  9 09:57 opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Headers -> include/python2.6

I also see that "Headers" is not listed in +CONTENTS.

Is +CONTENTS consulted by "port activate"?
