I don't believe so.  It's not hard to include
../../lang/python/Makefile.inc in your own packages, and changes to
just this one file won't affect all other packages as it would if the
changes had to be made to bsd.pkg.mk.  The perl5 code was integrated
into bsd.pkg.mk, but if I had to do it again, I'd separate it out into
a new file to be included by p5-module packages.

I face similar problems when I work on new php4 packages.  I generally
just make symlinks from /usr/pkgsrc/mk and /usr/pkgsrc/www/php4 into
my local pkgsrc tree and all my problems are solved.
