Jim,
I wrote the Jaguar  instructions and have not yet installed it on  
Panther myself.
There are a few changes - MacOSX 10.3 (Panther) now includes the  
MacPython 'build' of python, so there is no longer a need to install a  
different python build.
The home page for MacPython is
 http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/macpython-osx.html
and you can download an IDE and Package Manager from there.

You can download the wxPython binary for MacOSX from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPythonOSX-2.4.2.4-Py2.3- 
panther.dmg

I think that there will be a few other minor changes required -  I did  
install Gnumed on Mac again last year and it was a bit easier than  
listed and was less buggy than it had been. I think some of the issues  
with pypgsql had been resolved. There were still some gui issues.

It would be good if you kept a record as you go so we can update the  
instructions.

HTH,
