There are easy installs for python2.4 and wxPython 2.6.1 for python2.4:

http://www.undefined.org/python/

http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/
(or the wxPython download page)

I've built MPL for those versions in the past, I don't have the latest, 
and I haven't figure out eggs yet, but I should some day.

Essentially, darwinports is kind of like a Unix within OS-X, so I'd go 
with all darwinports or no darwinports (for Python stuff)

It depends on how you are using it. wxPython lets you develop fairly 
native cross platform apps. It also works with the native Mac GUI 
(rather than X11). If you're using MPL stand alone (rather than embedded 
in a larger GUI app), and you're happy with darwinports and X11, then 
there is no advantage.
