ftp.freebsd.org: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.2-release/All

#!/usr/bin/python3
AllLines = open("8.2.listing.txt", "r").readlines()
print("Total lines: " + str(len(AllLines)))
py26count = 0
py27count = 0
py3count = 0
for ThisLine in AllLines:
	if "py26" in ThisLine:
		py26count+=1
	elif "py27" in ThisLine:
		py27count+=1
	elif "py3" in ThisLine:
		py3count+=1
print ("2.6: " + str(py26count) + "\n2.7: " + str(py27count) + "\n3: " + str(py3count))

Total lines: 21437
2.6: 822
2.7: 0
3: 2

(FWIW, the two packages with py3 are py31-postgresql-1.0.2.tbz and py31-tkinter-3.1.3_3.tbz)

I'm not sure what the error logs in pointyhat are referring to.
