Robert Layne proposed the following answer:
Well everybody, sorry for the incomplete sentences and overall poor
English but I wanted to make this simple to read and understand for
someone who is completely inexperienced in any sort of programming, as I
am (very first day messing with this stuff, e.g., terminal).  This is
the result of hours of Googling that was all done in one day.  Perhaps
someone who is familiar with the commands below (in bold) wouldn’t mind
explaining what exactly is taking place.  Additionally, this was all
done in terminal on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS Lion.

1.	Install macport binary (comes with installer; easy)
2.	sudo port install py-game
     a.	not sure if this is necessary, as it doesn’t appear to cause pygame to be functional       
        for python version 2.7.1 (stock python on lion)
3.	sudo port select --set python python 2.7
     a.	I believe this set the default python version to 2.7.2 which I also believe was 
        downloaded during step 2 (therefore why I think this ends up being a necessary step)
4.	Download setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.tar
5.	In folder gasp-0.3.4, which appears after clicking on the .tar, place setup.py in the    
        gasp folder
6.	sudo python gasp/setup.py install 
     a.	make sure your directory is the folder gasp-0.3.4
7.	sudo port –v install py27-gtk
     a.	takes about an hour for this step to complete
8.	sudo port uninstall py-game
     a.	this step is not necessary for gasp to work; I simply didn’t want any unnecessary 
        stuff on my computer that was downloaded during the second step; however, this step 
        put python 2.7.2 on my computer; could install 2.7.2 separately I guess but this way 
        worked for me; a lot of other unnecessary stuff is installed during this step too but 
        I think it’ll remain even after this command, oh well
