I think your conclusion is correct here, but I wonder why /opt/local/bin and friends are being included twice? TextMate has no requirement for MacPorts, and it's not a "system" include, so I'd guess that somewhere in your configuration, it's creeping in.

Find the correct one, and I imagine things will work the way you want them.
