Well, 2.5 is still in the tree. If we all agree that ports should not care about 2.5 anymore we can drop that completely. If not, we can either have it on by port basis or centralised. For me centralised feels more natural and avoid duplications and hides python internals to the outside world.

Are you referring to the bad eggs or the hack to detect ports relying on either setuptools or distutils? Anyhow, you'll need RUN_DEPENDS as well. We could add it to the base python too. Any of these approaches will require another set of bumps. Dunno to be honest. f.-
