Well, removing those files won't hurt but, if you set your PATH as 
suggested, it shouldn't make any difference either.  The MacPorts files 
are installed in a completely separate location and one of the 
advantages of OS X Python framework installs is that multiple versions 
can co-exist on the same system without interfering with each other.
