This isn't how we usually handle this.

Either this software is a python module, in which case the old port needs to be renamed "py25-ige-mac-integration" and both the old and new ports need to be moved to the python category.

Or this is software which just happens to use python, in which case there should only be a single port (whose name doesn't say anything about python -- e.g. "ige-mac-integration" as the old port is now) and it should either be upgraded to use the latest appropriate version of python, or variants should be added to allow the user the choice of python version (if there is a valid reason why a user would not want to use the latest).
