The problem was not with portmaster, but was with the reliance on
pkg_which.  The attached patch should fit it. I currently have sent it
to itetcu and miwi for review. The biggest downside is that pkg_info can
not take multiple arguments on the command line like pkg_which does, so
we have to use xargs -L 1, which makes things slow compared to using
pkg_which.

If anyone wants to test it out please feel free to do so:

cd /usr/ports/lang/python && make upgrade-site-packages -DUSE_PORTMASTER

But be warned that I have only tested it on one machine so I'm not
responsible if it lights your cat on fire or other bad things.
