If I understand this PR correctly (in the context of bug #209204) the issue is
that given the Ports Framework's DEFAULT_VERSIONS the behavior for Python is
NOT consistent with user expectations.  

Namely, users expect DEFAULT_VERSIONS=python=x to behave the same as
PYTHON_VERSION=x, however this is not the case.  

(As an aside, it does not appear that PYTHON_VERSION is documented outside of
Mk/Uses/python.mk.)

To elaborate, I believe the expected behavior is:
 1) if no ports are installed then DEFAULT_VERSIONS behaves the same as
PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION (this, it does).
 2) if python is already installed then DEFAULT_VERSIONS behaves the same as
PYTHON_VERSION (this, it does NOT).  

Both patches achieve this goal.
