If protobuf-python27 is successfully installed then it shouldn't need PYTHONPATH set up.

Could the test be picking up Apple's python 2.7 from /usr/bin instead of from $prefix/bin?

Can you from the command line do this:

$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Aug 23 2011, 21:00:36) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Setting tab completion.
>>> import google.protobuf
>>> google.protobuf
<module 'google.protobuf' from '/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/google/protobuf/__init__.pyc'>
