I was using the most recent versions from MacPorts:


fuchsia:trunk charlieclark$ port info py26-pip
py26-pip @0.6 (python, www)

Description:          pip is a replacement for easy_install. It uses  
mostly the same techniques for finding packages, so packages that were
                       made easy_installable should be pip-installable as  
well.
Homepage:             http://pip.openplans.org/

Library Dependencies: python26, py26-setuptools
Platforms:            darwin
License:              unknown
Maintainers:          arthurk at macports.org, openmaintainer at macports.org
fuchsia:trunk charlieclark$ port info py26-distribute
py26-distribute @0.6.8 (python, devel)

Description:          Distribute is a fork of the Setuptools project. It  
is intended to replace Setuptools as the standard method for
                       working with Python module distributions.
Homepage:             http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute/

I had to deinstall distribute.
