           Summary: math/py-numpy: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
                    'distutils.msvccompiler'

When trying to install port "math/py-numpy" with a more recent version of port
"devel/py-setuptools" > 61 (say, 75 or 80.3. or 80.9.0), the building of the
port py-numpy bails out with the error shown below.
I'm sure the issue of deprecation of "distutils" with Python 3,12 is well
known, but I ask for a mitigation of the problem until the transition for
crucial ports towards modern setup/installer facilities has been performed. 
I can't fathom why the FreeBSD port requires a compiler/suite I associate with
Microso Soft environemts.

Running from numpy source directory.
setup.py:75: DeprecationWarning: 

  `numpy.distutils` is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
  of the deprecation of `distutils` itself. It will be removed for
  Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
  It is recommended to use `setuptools < 60.0` for those Python versions.
