Yes, exactly. Portage will use whatever the default interpreter is,
unless you have either USE=python2 or USE=python3 (but not both). It
will still its files per PYTHON_TARGETS, but emerge and other commands
will only use the interpreter you specify.
I have this in /etc/portage/package.use/portage on my hardened hosts::

sys-apps/portage python2
