This is a very old ticket so I'm going to close in the hopes that you were able to resolve the problem long ago.
Replying to hweber@…:
scribus warning after scribus start:
If you mean you see this right when you launch scribus, then I don't see that with either scribus @1.4.8 or scribus-devel @1.5.8, which hopefully means it was fixed.
Ghostscript: You cannot use EPS images or PrintPreview
Searching the Internet for this error message, I found several sites mentioning that the solution is to go to the Preferences window, External Tools section, and at the top in the box labeled PostScript Interpreter, the field Name of Executable should have the path to the Ghostscript executable, /opt/local/bin/gs, in it. On my system, that happened automatically; if it didn't for you, that's the value you should fill in there, replacing /opt/local with your MacPorts prefix if it's different.
