I am the maintainer of the math/octave port.  It's python function 
depends upon the existence of the python3 command, saying in 
${WRKSRC}/scripts/miscellaneous/python.m on lines 74-75

     ## PEP394 says Python 3 installs should all provide this command
     pyexec = "python3";

I notice that the lang/python3.11 doesn't include python3 as a link to 
python3.11.

My guess is that you have discussed this to death, but google didn't dig 
up for me any of these discussions.

Right now I am going to do a
${REINPLACE_CMD} s+python3+${PYTHON_CMD}+ 
${WRKSRC}/scripts/miscellaneous/python.m

Thanks, Stephen
