What version of NLTK are you using? (See nltk.2.0b8__version__). Please only
submit bug reports for the current version.

What steps will reproduce the problem? (e.g. include Python source code)
sudo port install python26 (here there are no problems) and then

sudo port install py26-nltk
Password:
Error: Unable to open port: couldn't change working directory to
"/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/python/py26-nltk":
no such file or directory
Before reporting a bug, first run the command again with the -d flag to get
complete output.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Try selfupdating and cleaning the port first:

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean py26-nltk

Then try again.
