Bug 225734: emulators/virtualbox-ose: Build with non-default python
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=225734

Add explicit dependency on Python 2.7

With

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=3.6

in /etc/make.conf

I get

kBuild: Generating python -
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/emulators/virtualbox-ose/work/VirtualBox-5.2.6/out/freebsd.a
md64/release/obj/VBoxOGLgen/spu_dispatch_table.h
kmk_builtin_redirect: posix_spawnp(python-not-found) failed: No such file or
directory

when trying to build virtualbox-ose.

Explicitly requiring Python 2.7 in USES= directives (see attached patch) fixes
the build for me.
