I was going to re-install python27 too, but there are a lot of dependencies so it might be a pretty complicated business... is there a way to do the uninstall without breaking these dependencies? I am going to check if there is any difference in the python27 installation first....

I doubt you need to reinstall python27. In general, if a port installed, it installed successfully. Builds are supposed to be repeatable and not vary based on circumstances.

If you do wish to reinstall python27 (or another port) you can do it with:

sudo port -n upgrade --force python27
