Python has no dependancies. I wonder if something is out of kilter on 
your base system? I am not running 5.2.1. I have one system running 
5-current and it only had time as a problem of updating these ports. 

I am also running perl 5.8.2_5 on that system. There were a number of 
things that popped up when I updated perl because all of the p5-* 
needed to be updated as well and some of the automakes. Most of these 
were covered in /usr/ports/UPDATING.
