New description:

 {{{
 sudo port install python26
 --->  Computing dependencies for python26Error: Internal error: port
 lookup failed: too many nested evaluations (infinite loop?)
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

 Using -> as an indication of dependency, it turns out:

 python26 -> tk -> Xft2 -> xrender -> xorg-libX11 -> xorg-libxcb -> xorg-
 xcb-proto -> python26

 So there is a circular dependency making everything in the chain and
 anything that depends on something in that chain uninstallable. In my
 case, that is git-core.
