 From the bsd.python.mk file...

# This file contains some variable definitions that are supposed to
# make your life easier when dealing with ports related to the Python
# language. It's automatically included when USE_PYTHON or PYTHON_VERSION
# is defined in the ports' makefile. Define PYTHON_VERSION to override the
# defaults that USE_PYTHON would give you. If your port requires only some
# set of Python versions, you can define USE_PYTHON as [min]-[max] or
# min+. (eg. 2.1-2.3, 2.0+ or -2.2)

By guess would be that you should define PYTHON_VERSION in make.conf.
