Usually this happens when trying to build with outdated tools, such as Xcode < 2.4.1 ... Seeing as how your Mac OS X is out of date, chances are you need to update both of them.

I updated to XCode Tools 2.5, and now python installs fine.
It would be helpful and give less support calls if the Port would give a message if the XCode Tools are outdated.

Agreed. That would be #15216.
I believe this ticket can be closed now.
The error occurs on Mac OS version 10.4.6.
