New description:

 This may be related to changeset r36089

 inkex.py, one of the core effects extensions for inkscape, requires
 python's lxml. Inkscape, whether fetched from SourceForge as a binary, or
 built through MacPorts, can't find the MacPorts version of lxml (port
 py25-lxml). I built lxml from the project's svn, pointed the setup.py file
 to MacPorts xml2 ans xslt (/opt/local/bin ...) and everything works.

 Apparently this is something of a known issue within the Inkscape
 community

 http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/GettingEffectsWorking

 however, they seem to think it's been fixed.
