It appears the port already has support for building against MPs python versions, it just is not enabled by default.

Titan ~/Projects/MacPorts/ports > port variants gdb
gdb has the variants:
   multiarch: Support all target architectures
   python27: Build GDB with Python 2.7 Scripting
     * conflicts with python35 python36
   python35: Build GDB with Python 3.5 Scripting
     * conflicts with python27 python36
   python36: Build GDB with Python 3.6 Scripting
     * conflicts with python27 python35
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

so try enabling one of the above variants.

OrĀ  maybe the gdb port could be updated to use one of macports python versions ?

can I do this easily as a test in my portfile? could you do it?
I already have a newer python installed from macports, so it would be a matter of "using" it.
