It depends on what the MacPorts policy on such things is; I believe in  
the past they've always relied on their own build of Python and  
associated libraries. They may continue doing so on Leopard.

The problem that you will run into is that the pyobjc package in  
MacPorts currently has no maintainer, so if you want to get it changed  
(for example, by updating it to pyobjc2), you'll probably have to do  
the work yourself or wait for someone in a similar predicament to do  
it for you.

That will give you a pygame in MacPorts' package folder rather than  
the system package folder; this is not the right thing, but it may get  
you closer to being able to ignore the problem -- or it may not work  
at all. Depends on how complex pygame is.
