/sw/bin/easy_install -h is now running so I think I am on the right track.

If you are packaging setuptools for use with a system packager, you should use:
python setup.py install --root=/some/pseudoroot
If you are using setuptools 0.6a10 or earlier, you *also* need
--single-version-externally-managed for this to work. 0.6a11 (which I just
released a few minutes ago) automatically sets
--single-version-externally-managed if you specify a --root, so you might
want to just go ahead and upgrade, especially since 0.6a11 has a lot of
other changes to improve compatibility with system packagers.
For example, while 0.6a10 will complain about system-installed versions of
a package as conflicting with a package that is being installed, 0.6a11
installs things such that there are no conflicts. 0.6a11 also supports
making system packages for projects containing namespace packages, without
causing inter-package conflicts for the packaging system.
