All our FreeBSD ports (lang/python??) and the packages produced from them all 
contain a LIBFFI option which is enabled by default, since 2015 [1][2]:

LIBFFI=on: Use libffi from ports instead of bundled version

This means that any 'default' package builds of these ports, including those in 
the official package repositories, will install and build again st the 
port/package version of libffi, and not the bundled version.

This was originally due to broken builds on i386 (see #22521 and issue23042), 
but also to due library policy (use external/upstream, not bundled libraries), 
and not wanting to use outdated/stale version any longer.

[2] python34+: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/378821
