Need to do some python work, using a lot of FreeBSD's base libs,

I'll do it if I must, just trying to save me some work.
Not understanding your use of the word "swigged", all I can say is
that the ports do not touch the system libraries except in the rare
case of things like openssl which have the _option_ to install on
top of the system ssl libraries.
devel/swig is a well-known interface generator, which automates
writing the interfaces, so that the scripting languages can make
direct use of compiled languaes. My particular target is to get
python to use FreeBSD llibraries, so your comment is amiss in this
case, although you are correct in general..
Aha! Well, I've even used SWIG in the past with perl, but I didn't
catch the connection. Thanks!
