When you configure mod_python, you can use --with-python option to
point at a specific version. Similarly, you can use --with-apxs option to
point at a specific version of Apache.

>From memory, these problems with undefined symbols nearly always
occur on Mac OS X when people use fink. Is there any chance of
convincing you to not use fink to build Apache and similarly not use
Python from fink, but use stock standard Python 2.3 included with the
operating system.

Bar that, not sure much else I can suggest except for doing a full distclean
of mod_python and trying to build it again.
