Dear Rhitankar, I should point out that Schrödinger also sells pre-compiled PyMOL with easy to use installers. http://pymol.org/academic.html
Open-Source PyMOL was always targeted to power-users who are familiar with compiling software themselves. Regarding your question: It will most likely not be possible to compile and install open-source PyMOL with the system python on Mac, because OSX ships with an incompatible Tkinter library. So Pmw won't be your last problem. With macports it should work fine if you do this (see also David's answers): sudo port install tcl -corefoundation +threads sudo port install tk -quartz +x11 sudo port install pymol Hope that helps.
