In our case, we installed from "packages" rather than compiling from ports, and it appears that wasn't done in the packages. Not uncommon in BSD world for packages to take defaults you don't want them to, everything was smooth sailing until a Python3-based app was added later. It seems to have replaced "python" in /usr/local/bin with a 3 version and that's when the 'fun" started.
Still waiting to hear back from the maintainer ...
