Which version of OS X?  PPC or Intel?  Is there a reason you are using
DarwinPorts?  Do you really want 4.2?  I've never used DarwinPorts nor
Phython, but I think you will have much better luck in general with VTK
5 vs VTK 4.2.  When I first started with VTK (between 4.4 and 5.0) the
CVS code did not even build on OS X with gcc4.  So if you are using a
modern OS X (ie 10.4) then I strongly suggest you use VTK 5.0.2, and
nothing older.
