I actually dislike the current "first wins" logic.  I hit that problem 
recently.

I think this choice should be done via make.conf variable (with some 
default value hardcoded in bsd.python.mk).
The resulting packages should not depend on the order two pythons are 
installed in.
(probaly defaulting python -> python2.X is the proper choice).

Let maintainers take the final decision and implement it though.
