 Scratch my previous followup...
 
 I've managed to narrow down the two separate issues that are causing
 this issue between devel/gobject-introspection and lang/python26+pth.
 
 Here is one approach:
 Patch python26-config to emit -I${LOCALBASE}/include/pth as an extra
 include header by patching the python-config.in, see here:
 http://cesium.hyperfine.info/~cowbert/ports/lang/python26/patch-Makefile
 
 The second approach is to patch the distutils/sysconfig.py, so that
 ${LOCALBASE}/include/pth is emitted by sysconfig as part of
 get_python_inc() but I don't think that's necessarily a good idea to
 interfere with the upstream too much, and really, C code building
 against python should be using the python-config script to determine
 the include, ldflag, and cflags anyway...
 
 Now, the next issue is: because somehow, gobject-introspection's
 configure script doesn't use sysconfig to build the python's include
 path, they are building the PYTHON_INCLUDES path manually, so I patch
 it with http://cesium.hyperfine.info/~cowbert/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/files/patch-configure
 
 And finally post-patch the configure to expand %%LOCALBASE%%, so that
 configure can find ${LOCALBASE}/bin/python${PYTHON_VERSION}-config
 http://cesium.hyperfine.info/~cowbert/ports/devel/gobject-introspection/patch-Makefile
 
 gobject-introspection now makes properly against python+pth with the
 above patches
