At first, Thank you for feedback comment.

> The way this port is handled is totally wrong.

Since dns/py-dnspython2 is Python 3 only, I interpret 'this port' as
dns/py-dnspython.

> Python supports concurrent installation and if there are both 2.7 and 3.*+ installed then this will have a race condition on which PORTVERSION to install.

Would you please explain what 'race condition on which PORTVERSION to install'
means in a bit more detail? As you say dns/py-dnspython have py27 and py38
(unless user changes default version of PYTHON and PYTHON3 in /etc/make.conf)
flavors. If you install the former, py27-dnspython-1.16.0.pkg is installed. If
you install the latter, py38-dnspython-2.1.0.pkg is installed. If there is a
python port that has py27 and py38 flavors and also requires dns/py-dnspython,
py27 flavor of the port requires py27-dnspython-1.16.0.pkg and py38 flavor
requires py38-dnspython-2.1.0.pkg. I can't imagine the situation that 'race
condition on which PORTVERSION to install' happens.
