www/firefox requires both and will do so for years in future because
"there isn't a compelling reason to port code that isn't being actively updated."

If you need handholding use poudriere. Most ports/ committers and the
package cluster uses that, so any bustage uncovered is usually a bug.

poudriere builds in a pristine environment, so the above conflict
wouldn't happen. After r498530 easy_install symlink would be moved from
py27-setuptools to py36-setuptools package.
