There's not much to research here.

The commit message explains why devel/py-wheel044 was added:

    devel/py-wheel044: "temporarily" add

    The sole purpose of this port is to build setuptools < 70.1.0 under
    USE_PYTHON=pep517, as a stopgap to allow newer Python
    distributions/interpreters to land while the setuptools update
    continues to be worked on. This port will be removed once setuptools
    is updated. Nothing else is to declare this as a dependency; continue
    to use devel/py-wheel elsewhere.

    As of setuptools 70.1.0, bdist_wheel (what setuptools executes as
    part of ${PEP517_BUILD_CMD} to build the wheel) has moved from wheel
    to setuptools [0], so once setuptools is updated past said version,
    consumers should not continue declaring devel/py-wheel in BUILD_DEPENDS
    unless the package needs functionality beyond what moved into
    setuptools.

The current version of setuptools in the ports tree fails to build with the
current version of wheel.
