 Indeed.  Although it's a bit counterintuitive to include
 bsd.port.options.mk when there are no OPTIONS.  However, it's perhaps
 safer than including pre.mk twice and hoping no one changes anything
 above the first that leaves USE_PYTHON defined.
 
 Whichever of those hacks is used, there should be a comment about
 what's going on and why.
