It does. On BSD the ports and packages are referred to a specific location
in the ports tree, e.g. ports/lang/python26, so any Python 2.6 compiled and
installed from ports with specific options will *always* point to this
location. So if you want to install 2 versions of Python 2.6 with different
options, you are out of luck using the standard way.
