Okay.  I'll investigate what will be happened if we force USE_PYTHON=2.3
when USE_ZOPE=yes is activated.  As far as I remember, it was such
a hell for handling dependencies.

In ports, we must use explicitly specified version (or default version)
to record correct dependency.  So, you can force python ports to use
Python 2.3.  (PYTHONPORT_VERSION is defined after along PYTHON_VERSION)

 make PYTHON_VERSION=python2.3 install

Emergency build fixes in ports are usually free from maintainer
approval to commit in FreeBSD community.  But it doesn't look proper
as your comments, I'll add PYTHON_VERSION=python2.3 in zope port.

Mk/bsd.python.mk will need some fix for zope product ports as well.
Thank you for comments and sorry for incorrect fix. :)
