Answering myself ...  By reading through the bsd.python.mk
Makefile I found out that the following incantation in
tkinter's port directory does the trick:

# PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION=python2.7 make

However, I think this should be documented somewhere in a
reasonable place.  It certainly shouldn't require users to
read Makefiles.

Best regards
   Oliver
