Or if you want all you GUI apps to benefit from the newer/alternative  
versions (of python, ruby, whatever...) that you have in MacPorts, add  
MacPorts' path to ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
....
<key>PATH</key>
         <string>/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Developer/Tools:/usr/ 
local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin</string>
....

Some will probably consider that evil since it changes the defaults  
for every app on your system. I personally consider that when I  
install a newer version of some program, I actually mean to use it ;)  
(and not necessarily only on the command line). The caveat could be  
that some apps rely on the older versions provided by Apple with the  
system. I have used this settings for more than a year, in Tiger and  
Leopard and never noticed a hiccup (I had macports version of perl,  
python and ruby on Tiger, not so much on Leopard since Apple updated  
all those).
