Comment(by macports at mail.taugt.net):

 I kind of fixed it. This is the wrong approach:
 {{{
  cd /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages; sudo ln -s ../site.py
 }}}

 because that's a non-setuptools site.py.
 This is better:

 {{{
  cd /opt/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages; sudo ln -s
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_python_py25-setuptools/work/setuptools-0.6c8/site.py
 }}}

 after doing that, setuptools seems to work fine! However it might still be
 the wrong approach.
