No.

Those warnings mean that some code started to listen to a
signal the signal dispatcher code did not know about at that

It is surely thinkable that there is some incompatibility
between system python, MacPort python, system-libc,
MacPort-libc, system-c-compiler, MacPort-c-compiler and
flowing from that wxWidgets/wxPython/X-server/...

Because the *.py files were already precompiled by then.

Seems to support the theory that one needs to use compatibly
sourced versions of whatever relevant library.

Now, did you succeed in getting any further than the login dialog ?
