Comment:

 The same error was occurred on my Mac.
 This error was caused by incompatibility of "print" between python 2.x and
 3.x.

 {{{
   print "foo bar"  # 2.x => OK, 3.x => NG
   print("foo bar") # 2.x => OK, 3.x => OK
 }}}

 If `python' is 3.x, then "port install mesa" fails.

 {{{
   % python --version
   Python 2.6.6
   % python_select -s
   python26
   % sudo port install mesa
   # => OK

   % python --version
   Python 3.1.2
   % python_select -s
   python31
   % sudo port install mesa
   # => FAIL with the error of util/u_format_table.py
 }}}

 I made a patch to use apple's python (/usr/bin/python) in
 src/gallium/auxiliary/Makefile.
