You can try to run "python -v", then "from PyQt4 import QtCore" to see
if sip.so is being loaded or not.  It loads on my Mac install:

>>> from PyQt4 import QtCore
dlopen("/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/QtCore.so",
2);
dlopen("/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sip.so",
2);
import sip # dynamically loaded from
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sip.so
import PyQt4.QtCore # dynamically loaded from
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyQt4/QtCore.so

so I think SIP is needed.
