 running the first command produces the following error for me.

 {{{

 I am unclear how to proceed to break the least amount of stuff. Please
 don't tell me i have to uninstall each of these things seperately and then
 reinstall them!

 BTW, here is the sad story of how I got to this point:
 In trying to install Matplotlib (python plotting util)... i ran into
 trouble with wxWidgets-python failing. Someone posted a workaround
 involving installing Mesa which I followed here:  http://www.mail-
 archive.com/macports-users at lists.macosforge.org/msg19905.html

 Apparently, in the process of doing this I screwed up (by upgrading?)
 OpenSSL, which breaks a lot of things I use including Git.
