This is the wrong path. MacPorts python 2.7 packages get installed into
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
If you installed gnucash +python27, you should find a 'gnucash'
directory in there.

The easiest way to use this is to use MacPorts's python interpreter,
which is installed at /opt/local/bin/python2.7. If you want to make
that the default, `port select python` can help you do that.

Setting PYTHONPATH to the correct site-packages and using Apple's
python27 inerpreter might work too, but I haven't tried it.
