When you say "directly". Do you mean:
$ /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin/pyrexc

or:
$ pyrexc

?

If the latter you need to add /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/ to your path or symlink /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/current/bin/pyrexc into /opt/local/bin/pyrexc (and have /opt/local/bin in your PATH). If you use "Current" instead of "2.6" in the path to pyrexc, installing pyrex for a different version of python you can keep your PATH or symlink intact and use "port select python ...".

1. change PATH in bash/zsh:
`export PATH=/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/:$PATH`

OR

1. symlink pyrexc into /opt/local/bin/
`ln -s /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/pyrexc /opt/local/bin/pyrexc`

2. check if /opt/local/bin is in your PATH with:
`env | grep PATH` -- should give a ':'-separated list of paths.
