The only thing that makes sense is installing py27-wxpython-3.0.

wxPython 3.0.2 is not compatible with Python 3, only with Python 2.
The new compatible version is wxPhoenix / wxPython 4.x.

I tried to install it long long ago and there were some issues (I
wasn't really able to install it without spending quite a bit more
time). I didn't test it recently, but in any case we currently don't
have a functional port combining wxPython and Python 3.

By far the easiest way would be to install py27-wxpython-3.0 and test
wxPython with that one. If you cannot live without Python 3, someone
needs to come up with a port for wxPython 4.0.0b2 (I'm the maintainer,
but I'm not sure if I'll manage to do it soon).
