Ports generally do not change their behavior based on what other ports you might already have installed. We usually want ports to deliver a consistent experience to all users, regardless what other software they may already have installed.

If I knew how to get the port to install with python27 I would do so:

https://trac.macports.org/ticket/32251

Any assistance would be appreciated.

At the moment, strangely, you need to install py27-numpy, in addition to the py26-numpy. I've now fixed MyPaint to do this, so just wait 30 minutes, then "sudo port selfupdate" and "sudo port clean MyPaint" and try installing it again.
