No it is not, no this is not a bug, no it will not be "fixed".  This is
also why there's no mechanism to select the system python (although it
wouldn't be that difficult to add one, it's usually a bad idea).
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#ownlibs (and most of the questions
around it)

Homebrew was the most recent attempt by someone to pretend that avoiding
the system-installed stuff is "just being stupid" or whatever.  It, like
everyone else, has switched to installing and managing its own ecosystem.
