probably so, but

I looked, and the wxPython ports are "wxmac", not wxGTK, which I think is what 
the OP wants.

The fact that macports has done it means it can be done, so the OP would compile 
his own python as well. I think he's got it working with TK the way they want, 
so could he just add the framework flag and be done?

When I was building Sage which has Python 2.6 in it I kept getting X11 windows, 
not the Apple Aqua version.  I found out using otool on the  _tkinter.so in sage 
that I was building against a tk/tcl library that was 
in /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.5/Tk and apparently was an X11 
library.  When I removed those libraries and rebuilt Sage it automatically built 
against the Apple tk/tcl libraries in /System/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/. 
Then I got the Aqua windows.  Might this be the case here?
