At this moment, the ports tree is not set up to handle Python 3 as the default
Python.

Work is being done in the ports tree to support different (Python)
“flavors” (i.e. Python2 and Python 3) without separate py3-* ports.
See e.g. https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/FlavorsAndSubPackages

Ports that don't behave with flavors are being fixed:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223071

I think you should wait until that work has been completed and released.

Otherwise, you'd have do make duplicate Python 3 based ports of everything
required for py3gobject3.
