[pymvpa] Mac OS X Installer issues

[James Kyle]

My mistake, the port name is:

py25-pymvpa,

This would make the correct command

> $ sudo port install py25-pymvpa +scipy +pynifti +hcluster +libsvm

My apologies for the inconvenience. You can also search for partial  
matches of ports via:

> port search pymvpa
