Did you install wxPython? Did Macports?
I understand how MacPorts works in this regard. Fink does the same
thing, though you can opt not to install dependencies and can also
install binaries that might need the dependencies (i.e., only needed
to compile). This is a Linux-like package installer model. It is handy
but can have problems playing nicely with other unix software
installed on your system outside of the MacPorts (or Fink) package
hierarchy. I know that both try to wall off their stuff into separate
areas, but sometimes it doesn't work.
To try and overcome the complications of having more than one Python
version and more than one wxPython version, both William and I now
include a wxPython build in our GRASS binaries. However, I'm not sure
what will happen in a situation like yours. Hopefully my binary will
work.
You might need to search out and look at your various system
configuration files and see if any of them refer to the MacPorts
Python. These normally live in your home folder and the etc folder.
They begin with a ".", so are invisible unless you run something like
Invisibility Toggler.app, use Text Wrangler's open hidden function, or
use the command line utilties.
Files to look for include .profile and .bashrc. There might be others
too depending on how MacPorts manages setting system configurations.

For each port that you install with macports it determines what
other ports are necessary. Macports project has taken the attitude
that they always want to use their own version of code so that
changes by Apple won't break other specific dependencies, which has
happened to them a number of times. That leads to most ports
working well, but can lead to other problems, so their are some
pluses and minus to this approach. But, that is the current
approach, and if I were to try to force uninstall any python stuff,
it would break other ports. Apple actually has 2.6.1 installed,
while macports installs 2.6.4.
That said, python_select just changes links and moves files around
so that only one version of python is "visible" and the others are
hidden, except to explicit paths. And I have confirmed that from
the command line using python_select does change which version gets
used.
So, according to macports, I have python2.5 python2.6 and python26-
apple installed right now, but only the apple version should be
visible, so I doubt that this is causing the problem.

If you have a second python and it is in your python path, you'll
have trouble. Do you know what the Macports "python_select" script
does?
You really don't need to install any extra Python because your Mac
already comes with Python 2.6, the most up-to-date of the 2.x
series. It should not be necessary to run anything downloaded from
MacPorts as any Python app should use the system Python unless it
needs an earlier version. If MacPorts is installing 2.3 or 2.4 this
could be a pretty big headache since GRASS requires at least 2.4
and possibly 2.5 or above to run its wxPython GUI (we've tried not
to break 2.4 compatibility but I haven't tested it). I've heard of
other people having trouble with conflicts from MacPorts. I uses to
use Fink but ran into some of the same issues. And by now I don't
really need it since many applications are now available on the Mac
in a more native way. You might try getting rid of the MacPorts
Python and see if GRASS run--and if MacPorts Python apps still run.

I do have python installed as I have a bunch of things installed
with macports and some of them depend on it and so installed it as
part of the builds. So I can't really get rid of it. But, as
part of macports, I do have python_select, which is a small port
that allows me to switch which python is active and I am currently
using the Apple installed Python 2.6, not one of the Macport
installed versions. So I don't think that is the problem....?
I am downloading one of your builds to test out right now.
Thanks,

William might be able to offer guidance on this.
If you did not install a separate Python, I'm not sure what the
problem is. But you can try one of my builds. They work with Snow
Leopard on at least one student machine I know of. I've posted
very recent binaries for 6.4, 6.5, and 7.0.

Have you tried georectification with the new wxPython GUI?

Adam,
If all else fails, work with a command line process ... I've
never had
happy experiences with the purely GUI rectification.
i.group (groupname) (mapname)
i.target (groupname) Target_Location Target_Mapset
d.mon X0
i.points (groupname) - this launches the GCP capture GUI
(old style,
X-windows but it works!)
i.rectify (groupname) extension="something"
order=(polynomial order)
