This sounds rather wrong; MacPorts should *never* install stuff under
/System, that path is reserved for Apple-sourced stuff and liable to be
modified by Software Update at any time.  The flip side to this is that the
python executable you use also matters; stuff under
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework would only be available in
/usr/bin/python, not /opt/local/bin/python which looks under
/opt/local/Library/Python.framework.
