I have no objections, but know people that do :). I ever know FreeBSD 
committer that using old zope.
We have only three ports, that wish exactly python 2.4 version:

net/honeyd (skreuzer@FreeBSD.org)
www/zope   (estartu@augusta.de)
www/zope211 (estartu@augusta.de)

And only one port that depends on exact 2.5 version:

www/google-appengine (nivit@FreeBSD.org)

I prefer to remove both of python24 and python25 because they both EOL. 
But I'd still set them all to expiration period of month or two. We have 
such a tradition.

Our zope213 port didn't use ZOPESKELDIR, SZOPEBASEDIR so it may look 
like this:

+if ${ZOPE_VERSION} == "2.13"
+ZOPE_PORTSDIR=			${PORTSDIR}/www/zope213
  .else

I prefer to keep it as zope213 for some time.
