Why don't you simply use the port? Look in

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports-current/lang/python.tar.gz (source)

and the corresponding directory on mirror sites.

Note that the "source" above is actually the ports skeleton only;
when you extract it on your machine (preferably into /usr/ports/lang)
and type "make", it will automatically fetch the original source and
build the program.
