For those who have problems with devel/ncurses and python (2.4 or 2.5).
Please try this patch:

http://people.freebsd.org/~rafan/python-ncurses.diff

Apply it under /usr/ports/lang.

It forces python to pick up ncurses (and readline) in base in instead
of LOCALBASE.

It looks like if --with-termlib and --without-libtool, then ncurses will
pick up tinfo (in configure script).
