I'm stuck in the same catch-22 and this doesn't work.

I can't install py-packaging because it depends on py-setuptools.
py-setuptools can't be installed because it seems to require
py-packaging:

  File "/extra/obj/usr/ports/devel/py-setuptools/work-py38/setuptools-57.0.0/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 772, in resolve
    raise DistributionNotFound(req, requirers)
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'packaging>=20.0' distribution was not found and is required by the application
*** Error code 1
