Comment (by michelle.lynn.gill@…):

 It is quite easy to install old versions of ports, and there is a well-
 written guide on how to do so in the Macports Wiki
 https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort. There is also an
 easy way to browse all of the changes to a port to and view appropriate
 diff files to determine which version needs to be checked out. For
 example, here is the one for mesa
 https://trac.macports.org/log/trunk/dports/x11/mesa. Having used Fink
 extensively before switching to Macports, I think Macports is much more
 flexible and powerful.

 To test your theory about the recent changes to mesa, I removed the recent
 mesa, freeglut, and pymol. I then installed the old mesa port you
 mentioned (8.0.5, revision 2) and also reinstalled freeglut and pymol.
 (Reinstallation of the other ports shouldn't have mattered since these
 were build bot compiled versions, but just to be thorough.)

 I also verified that the correct version of mesa was installed:

 {{{
 $ port installed mesa
 The following ports are currently installed:
   mesa @8.0.5_2+python27 (active)
 }}}


 Unfortunately the same issue persists with mesa 8.0.5, revision two--the
 command window for PyMol is white with all of the buttons missing as
 described above.

 I have no intention of installing Fink. I'm actually a very technical user
 and will build PyMol myself if necessary.
