Yes, that is expected. Since Python modules can be installed simultaneously for different Python versions, none of them install non-versioned binaries into ${prefix}/bin. One workaround is to prepend /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin to your PATH.

There is a ticket open requesting a "port select" mechanism for selecting a "default" pip; this would still require making a choice manually. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38016
