Note that you will not succeed, because py26-pymvpa depends on shogun, and shogun does not compile on Tiger at present, though I'm hopeful this could possibly be fixed:

Note that py26-pymvpa does not have any variants by any of those names. "port variants py26-pymvpa" tells you what variants it does have.

This bug is reported here:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/23212

To work around it, first install the texinfo port, then try installing the gzip port again.
