If I understand correctly, that would be "make deinstall clean" and then
"make install clean", if it insists to use python2.3, try specifying
PYTHON_VERSION=python2.4.

Note that it's not the end of world if you have a installation in
/usr/bin/python :-)  Just do a tarball over: /usr/bin/idle*
/usr/bin/python* /usr/lib/python* /usr/include/python*
/usr/share/python* /usr/share/examples/python*, then remove them would
make sure that you have a clean system.  Note that Zope 2.7 requires
Python 2.3 series IIRC.  If you have a spare system, installing
everything from scratch with the ports collection there before actual
operation on production system would save you a lot of time.

Cheers,
