Using poudriere, yes, it seems to be the case.

If you want to provide packages with the non-default python version
you can use DEFAULT_VERSIONS= python3.3 for your poudriere make.conf.

The issue here is that the dependency list is built with poudriere
using PKGORIGIN, however py-setuptools can have several distinct
PKGNAME, depending on your chosen python version.
We are not going to provide a new port for every python version of a package.
