Seems that fix this is not simple.. MacPorts avoid this disabling python support, see http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/gnome/libgsf/Portfile In fact disabling the python USE flag it compiles. Maybe it can be masked for x86-macos?
thanks for the info/hints. masked USE=python on darwin for this pacakge.
