trac was updated [1] to use python26 recently, so make sure everything is up
to date; 0.11.4 is the trac version in both cases, but revision 1 is where
python26 became the preferred python.

That would most likely fail since there are still quite a few ports which are
2.5-based instead of 2.6.

This is an issue with the cyrus-sasl2 port; some software doesn't build
cleanly when an earlier version is available, hence this needs the older
version deactivated or uninstalled prior to getting the latest version.  I
usually just force uninstall the old one then install the new one:

$ sudo port -f uninstall cyrus-sasl2
$ sudo port install cyrus-sasl2
