 Here are the exact commands that worked for me:

 sudo port install python26 +no_tkinter
 sudo port -f activate python26
 sudo port install xorg-xcb-proto
 sudo port clean python26
 sudo port install python26

 And then I can install ImageMagick, xorg, or whatever.  Note that the
 second command may not be necessary on your system, it was necessary on
 mine because I had some files lying around from a previous Python
 installation attempt.
