Comment (by afb at macports.org):

 Back when py-gtk2 was in use (it's now deprecated for py25-gtk), the
 python24 port '''did''' provide a /opt/local/bin/python (but it was
 removed in r28120 to make room for python25).
 But nowadays it is required to either patch all the old python ports or
 run python_select.

 Replying to [ticket:14081 aphor at mac.com]:
 > Workaround: prepend /opt/local/bin to your path, and symlink
 /opt/local/bin/python2.4 to /opt/local/bin/python because these configure
 scripts choose their python version by the first executable 'python' on
 the PATH.

 Or install the python_select port and run `python_select python24`, which
 does the same thing...
