Why can't I build Python without nis -- yp(8)?!?

Hello all,
I just finished a fresh install of CURRENT, followed by a build/install
of world/kernel. I'm now building up all of my ports base. But can't get
Python to install -- *any version*, apparently because I don't have/use
nis ( yp(8) ). WTF? Since when does Python *require* yp/nis, and how/where
can I get a version that doesn't?

Thank you for all your time, and consideration.
