That's surprising - asterisk16 with somewhat usual OPTIONS does not
have a direct python dependency - I'd guess you're seeing an indirect
dependency via newt (devel/newt) which has PYTHON as a default OPTION;
but it can use either (2 or 3) python - here it happily uses python 3.7.

> 	FreeCAD: 0.18.4_4

Perhaps again an indirect dependency? Through vtk6, I guess (that needs
to be replaced by vtk8, working on it). Except for that I've recently
removed all python 2 support from FreeCAD and it's toolkits.

> 	en-gimp-help-html: 2.10.0_1

That port doesn't even exist anymore (see MOVED,
 graphics/gimp-help||2020-03-01|Has expired: Broken )

> 	gimp: 2.10.18,2

Through py-gimp? That's scheduled for removal.

> 	latex-beamer: 3.57

How that? Indirect dependency via texlive-texmf? Even if our texlive
would need some love (read: update), it's fully happy with python 3.7.

Again, vtk6...

That shouldn't be.

It's shiboken2 which has a dependency on the default ports llvm (see
https://wiki.freebsd.org/WhyDoIHaveToBuildLLVMWhenIAlreadyHaveClangInstalleds
as per usual) - but that would be llvm90 since septemper 2019.
Looks like you're picking up random cruft during build and not following
default version changes.
