Best solution IMHO for allowing the use of either the default system python or one installed with MacPorts would be to add an additional folder hierarchy to the package for x86_64 (currently there exist 'ppc' and 'i386' in 'Contents/Resources/python/site-packages') with the site-packages for Python 2.6 (and maybe 2.7 or 3.0 later-on) in 64bit as well as updating the launcher script to set PYTHONPATH according to the system (or even better: python) arch (PPC, i386, x86_64).
