Precompiled python.org binaries offer python only, no dependencies. If
you don't have something, it will crash at runtime.

On the contrary macports pulls in any dep. The default python port
compiles with the tk module, hence there're plenty of transitive
dependencies (tk is a GUI module which depends on X).

Try removing anything you've got in macports right now, then recompile
the no-gui variant of python:

sudo port install python26 +no_tkinter
