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.)

Yes. I also see this port uses the python26 portgroup (at the top of the portfile) so that should change to python27 as well.

You can copy the spe port's directory anywhere, edit the portfile, cd to the directory in the terminal, and type "sudo port install" (without specifying a port name) and it will use the port in the current directory.
