OK, I've figured out part of this.  It looks to be a problem with Python 
2.2's expat module:

root@hephaestos[/usr/pkgsrc/devel/libglade2]# python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jul  1 2003, 18:28:07)
[GCC 3.3] on sunos5
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import xml.parsers.expat
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/usr/pkg/lib/python2.2/xml/parsers/expat.py", line 7, in ?
     from pyexpat import *
ImportError: No module named pyexpat

I'm currently rebuilding python, and will monitor it closely.  Expat 
seems to be OK:

jaj@hephaestos[~]$ pkg_info -L expat
