New description:

 Running SnowLeopard on 32-bit MacBookPro2,2.

 Config edited file to add +universal for all ports.

 I performed a
   sudo port clean --all all
   sudo port install python26
   sudo port install mercurial

 Both reported success.

 When I attempt to execute
   hg clone ...

 I receive the following trace indicating that _locale is missing.

Comment:

 If _locale is missing entirely that would be a problem with python26. Can
 you import _locale manually in an interactive interpreter? Is
 `/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6
 /lib-dynload/_locale.so` present, and if so, what are the permissions on
 it? (Could be a umask issue a la #21389.)
