This looks wrong. No port should be using ${prefix}/bin/python directly.
Instead, make the port use a python binary with version suffix, e.g.
python2.5 or python2.6.

In most cases, this can be achieved by a statement like this:
  configure.python ${prefix}/bin/python2.6
This will export PYTHON for the configure/build environment. If this
does not work, check configure parameters or it will require a custom patch.

In this case, the port does not declare a dependency on python at all.
stante, you should pin it to a specific python version.
