Yes, it looks like it's a standard setuptools build system, so the 
python portgroup should handle it fine. The bigger job might be adding 
ports for any dependencies that we don't currently have. I do see a lot 
of version pinning in the dependency list, which is something we don't 
support well, but it's also often unneeded.

That said, it might be worth taking a moment to consider what value 
installation via MacPorts adds, compared to creating a venv and 
installing osxphotos into it with pip. Typically we add python modules 
to MacPorts because either something else in MacPorts needs them, or 
they have dependencies that pip can't install.

Here's an incomplete and untested first pass at one, based on a template 
from the portfile-gen script:
