--- Comment #1 from Peter Czanik <peter@czanik.hu> ---
TL;DR: I support the proposed patch.

Long: This is something I messed up. I thought that the packaging list change
came from the updated Python version (I'm not a Python programmer...), so I
changed the packaging list. It turned out that it was pulled in as a build-time
requirement of something (I could delete it without deleting anything else).

I do not want to make syslog-ng depend on an additional package, and
unfortunately reading ports documentation I cannot see a way to make the
packaging list change conditional. 

Python 3.10: there is no explicit dependency on Python, as the glib2 package (a
dependency of syslog-ng) pulls in Python anyway. However, adding
"LIB_DEPENDS+=libpython3.10.so:lang/python310" is definitely not good:
syslog-ng can be compiled anything Python 3.5+
