Why does /opt/local/bin/idle2.4 already exist and not belong to a registered port? You can force the activation, as the message says ("sudo port -f activate python24"), but if you cannot explain why parts of python 2.4 were already on your system although MacPorts did not install them, you may have parts of other ports on your system as well, and might encounter the same issue with other ports in the future, so you might be better off correctly ​uninstalling all of MacPorts, then starting over, installing MacPorts and the ports you want.
