Comment(by stephen at xemacs.org):

 OK, the definition from configure stored in .../python2.4/config/Makefile
 was MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3.  I've just started a "port -f upgrade
 python24", and confirmed that in the configure'd Makefile,
 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4.

 "To everything (churn, churn, churn) there is a reason (churn, churn,
 churn)," and with the musical interlude and the Python upgrade finished,
 the value in .../python2.4/config/Makefile now is
 MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4, and I've confirmed that py-setuptools (and
 bittorrent, which now fails the same way) can be "port upgrade"ed
 successfully.

 Thank you for your help with this issue!

 I can't explain why MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 was in an installation
 less than 5 months old when this system has been running 10.4 for at least
 18 months.  Maybe it used to be overridden/hardcoded in older versions of
 port and/or the Portfile?
