You should be able to explicitly specify subport blocks for each Python version (e.g., py27-html5lib, py31-html5lib, etc.) and then define separate patchfiles in each block. I haven't done this myself, though, so there may be a better way to do it.

No, you have to install each subport manually. In addition, you don't get new subports "for free" when new versions of Python become available; the Python portgroup requires each port to explicitly list which versions of Python it supports.
