You can force the activation to overwrite the existing files:

Actually it was probably put there by an earlier failed install
because of the python25 framework bug.
See
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16068>
and
<http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16334>
The port does work after you force the install, but the registry gets
all messed up - macports thinks py25-pyqt4 is active but a "port
contents py25-pyqt4" yields nothing. This is why I'm all for fixing
the framework bug even if it means users having to reinstall all
py25-* ports.
Thank you for the info, everyone!
I do not mind rebuilding all python 2.5 stuff. It's no problem to
build
at night.
Is there a recommended way to work around the issue?
For me, this `sudo port -f activate py25-pyqt4` yields a large pile of
the following:
Warning: File /opt/local/share/sip/PyQt4/QtXmlPatterns/qxmlquery.sip
already exists. Moving to:
/opt/local/share/sip/PyQt4/QtXmlPatterns/qxmlquery.sip.mp_1236301109.

Yes, that is what forcing does. It moves the conflicting files out of
the way.
Error: port activate failed: Not a directory
That sounds like the trying-to-install-into-a-symlink issue.
