OK, I just upgrade to python27 using this approach, and everything seemed
to work OK.  The only oddity is that now two of my ports are ahead of the
curve:

py27-gdbm-2.7               >  succeeds port (port has 2.6.5) 
py27-sqlite3-2.7_1          >  succeeds port (port has 2.6.5_1) 

I'm not going to worry about that unless someone or something tells me I
should.
