It is only almost the same. py27-setuptools27 conflicts with 
py27-setuptools (take care of the '27' after setuptools). There had been 
a slight change in the near past.

For me, it helped to change the origin and update again. Eventually it 
is also necessary to delete the old version py27-setuptools before.

portmaster -o devel/py-setuptools27 py27-setuptools-5.5.1

or something like this should do it.
