I'll second that. As a temporary workaround I duplicated py-numpy to 
py-numpy32 and changed USE_PYTHON to 3.2. It appears that some extra 
patching is needed for 3.3 which I haven't gotten to yet. Is duplicate 
ports the only way to install multiple versions?

This should be extended to boost-python-libs as well. I duplicated the 
port to boost-python3-libs and changed it to use py3.2. This enables the 
building of libboost_python as well as libboost_python3 so it looks to 
be able to support both py3.x and py2.7 if built against py3.x. I only 
use this for blender so I don't know for sure that py2.7 will work right.
