No. The "port select" mechanism is for a user's convenience only. A port may
not rely on the user having selected anything in particular, or anything at
all. A port should build itself using exactly the programs it wants (i.e.
${prefix}/bin/python2.7) and not rely on e.g. "python" being anything in
particular or even existing.
