If it does, then perhaps the port could be updated to use py27 modules, or to provide the user the choice (with variants). You could file an enhancement request in the issue tracker. If you can attach a patch, even better. (This port does not have a maintainer.)

I'm willing to give it a shot, but I'll need a clue or two.
If I make the dependencies py-foo instead of py27-foo then  they should be satisfied by the py27 components on my system, correct?
Do I have to create a local portfile repository, or will port run a portfile from cwd?
