It's also fine to use that python-3.6-ized ansible against a host with only python-2.7 installed. Take a look at eg. the databases/phpmyadmin port for an example of a flavoured port that doesn't have a language dependent (in this case php-) prefix. Just add PKGNAMESUFFIX and take away the noflavors from USES, plus add flavour markers to any dependencies that need them. You'll end up with packages called ansible-py27 and ansible-py36.
