If you're building Python 2.3.x from the FreeBSD port, I think all you 
have to do is use the WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE knob, something like:

    cd /usr/ports/lang/python
    make WANT_HUGE_STACK_SIZE=1 install

I've been doing that for a while now, and haven't seen any problems with 
  Zope 2.7 or Plone 2.0
