This effectively means that user should choose between python2 and 
python3 and all ports that are not from choosen side will stop to 
compile/work?

Like i need to have www/trac, and some other script needs 
databases/py-postgresql. Both require py-setuptools yet trac needs 
py27-setuptools and postgresql driver - py33-setuptools. So there would 
be no easy way to install both?
