USE_PYTHON_BUILD=yes indicates that the port supports any python
version, no matter,
if the user chooses python2.X or python3.x as the default for the system.
If your port is compatible with any python version and only uses
python for configuring
some bits, but does *not* need python at run-time, you should patch
the scripts to
use ${PYTHON_CMD}, via a ${REINPLACE_CMD} or the proper python_CMD=
${PYTHON_CMD} command
for the shebang USES.
If your port is only compatible for a specific branch (either 2.x OR
3.x), use the proper
major number for USE_PYTHON_BUILD, e.g. USE_PYTHON_BUILD=2. If the
port is only compatible
with a specific release (e.g. 3.2), use USE_PYTHON_BUILD=X.Y. For
those cases, you also can
rely on ${PYTHON_CMD}, which points to whatever is the most
appropriate version.
In short:
* Use ${PYTHON_CMD} to replace the shebang lines or references of the
python command
* Use the proper supported python version (yes for any, 2 or 3 for a
branch, X.Y for a release)
for USE_PYTHON_BUILD

Indeed, do not do this.
