Jim,

I raised a similar question at some point about the possibility of a python 
version of cpan2port, which would basically create a template portfile to do an 
easy_install of the package in a MacPorts-aware way.  I never heard any 
feedback.  My guess is that someone familiar with writing ports and with using 
python packages doesn't have or hasn't taken the time to write such a utility.
