That's because the startup forces Python to run in 32bit mode, because wxpython can't be built for 64bits yet (!).  And the python you have in /opt/local (macports?) is then probably 64bit-only.  GRASS is probably finding the macports python first because it's first in your shell PATH.

Which python did you intend to use for GRASS?  If the macports python is 64bit only, they probably don't have wxpython at all.
