You probably need to run the program using the version of Python that's
installed in MacPorts.  Your system python does not know anything about
MacPorts, so it obviously can't find pyGTK, since it's not in the system
library location.  I can't remember where MacPorts puts things, but
presumably you'd have to do edit the nicotine+-1.2.16 file and change
the first line to point to the MacPorts version of python.
