This already has been done and currently waits for an exp-run. You might have
missed the mails about it the other day:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-python/2013-December/006402.html
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-python/2013-December/006404.html

Patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mva/python_unique_ports_v7.diff

PR for the exp-run:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/185947

As soon as the exp-run has been done and the issues were fixed, it will be
committed.

Cheers
Marcus
