I would rather see PYTHON_DISTFILE removed from bsd.python.mk and  
being moved back
to the individual ports instead. Or, to stay compatible for whatever  
reason, change
it to PYTHON_DISTFILE?= ..., so ports can override it.

Or, even better in making things complicated, change it to

PYTHON_DISTFILE = ${PYTHON_IMPLTYPE}_${PORTVERSION}${EXTRACT_SUFX}

;-)
