Doesn't the port work for 4.8?  It does work on FreeBSD 4.11, but there 
may have been changes to the ports system since 4.8.  (You should 
consider updating to 4.11.)

There are several patch files in the FreeBSD port, including
one to setup.py.

The easiest way is to cvsup your ports tree and then

cd /usr/ports/lang/python
make
make install
make clean
