Hi! Thanks for reaching out

There's no perfectly automated tool, but there is pytoport:

https://github.com/freebsd/pytoport

Porting is relatively easy, without automated tools, depending of course 
on individual packaging complexity, like dependencies, etc.

If upstream follows standard python packaging standards well, its much 
easier.

Jump on #freebsd-python on freenode IRC and we can discuss if further 
there, my nickname is koobs
