Comment(by raimue@…):

 Replying to [comment:9 sean.b.palmer@…]:
 > But I can't remember what circumstances might surround the installation.
 In any case, my shell managed to distinguish between the two correctly.
 How does it do so, if the filesystem is case-insensitive? Could MacPorts
 follow the same procedure to do so?

 In fact, python_select is a bash script. `/opt/local/bin/bash` does not
 distinguish between `head` and `HEAD`, neither does `/bin/bash`. I don't
 know which shell you use, but for bash it will not work.
