 OK. Thanks!

 > I'm sure you're not the first one to go down this path. The system
 (MacOS) should be resilient enough to withstand what you did, but I guess
 not. I'm unfortunately not a python expert, so the answer is not at the
 tip of my tongue. I see almost 700 open and closed tickets about python,
 and no doubt there is wisdom in there somewhere...just finding the right
 ticket with the answer can be tricky.

 libtool portfile -- it's not that important -- and that gets libtool
 installed for you.

 would be my first line of attack. Perhaps one of the MacPorts python
 experts will chime in with the easy fix for you.
