You have multiple versions of python installed.  At minimum, MacPorts  
will only install Python packages into its own copy of Python, because  
messing with the Apple-supplied one risks both compatibility issues  
and breakage due to system updates; you may also have multiple Python  
versions installed by MacPorts.

Use "port contents vtk-devel" to find out where the vtk files got  
installed, then make sure you run that python.
