This is, what I refer to as "unduly difficult". Seems like a gratuitous
requirement. If I can edit the port's Makefile and change

-USES=python
+USES=python:3

to build the package prefixed with p35- instead of p27-, I should be able to
have the same effect by simply setting my preference with DEFAULT_VERSIONS.

Thanks, Iblis. Should not be hard to fix, Python-folks?
