Indeed. Although it's a bit counterintuitive to include
bsd.port.options.mk when there are no OPTIONS. However, it's perhaps
safer than including pre.mk twice and hoping no one changes anything
above the first that leaves USE_PYTHON defined.
Whichever of those hacks is used, there should be a comment about
what's going on and why.
