New description:

 I am trying to install blender, which depends on openvdb. However, openvdb
 fails to build.
 The openvdb port supports up to python310, while it's dependency boost176
 is build with python311. Would it be possible to update openvdb to support
 python311?

Comment (by ryandesign):

 That's a good idea since 3.11 is the default version of python in MacPorts
 today. However, until that's done, it is possible to install boost176 with
 the +python39 or +python310 variant to overcome this.
