Mmmm, it is a policy issue, allflavors must only be used for ports for
which it is imperative to have all the possible flavors available, like
py-setuptools or cython.

If you want to enable the build all flavors possible locally, (as if
allflavors was defined in all ports) you can define
BUILD_ALL_PYTHON_FLAVORS=yes in your make.conf
