Since I'm just learning how to do this, I thought I'd try to make the minimal necessary changes to the existing portfile for spe 2.6 to see if I could get things going for 2.7.   I managed to achieve 'hello world' in spe, albeit with some annoying benign exceptions coming from something wx isn't finding. 

Diff's attached.  Summary:
1. Tweaked portgroup to python27
2. added supported_arches i386 because of wx dependency
3. changed py26-foo dependencies to py27-foo
4. tweaked call to python to use arch -i386, which was conveniently already being patched in the portfile.  This was moved to a post-patch to get out of the way of a new patchfile.
5. Added patchfiles command to overcome the fact that pychecker2 is not available in macports.  spe contains a fall-back version of the module, so I tweaked the installation to include the fallback version.

When SPE exists, 17 copies of this are printed to stderr:

Exception ImportError: 'No module named traceback' in <bound method WeakMethod.__onNotifyDeadObj of <wx.lib.pubsub.core.weakmethod.WeakMethod at 336293600; DEAD>> ignored

which looks like wx is not quite right, yet.  I'm guessing this comes during widget destruction or some such.
