That is not supported, mixing installations like that...

If you use MacPorts PyGTK, you need to use /opt/local/bin/python2.6
rather than /usr/bin/python. And you'd normally use "site-packages" ?

/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/

The same goes for Fink, and pygtk2-gtk-py26 (with /sw/bin/python2.6).
If you use GTK-OSX, you'll bundle both Python and GTK with your app.
