Unless you need to rely on a Python package still only supported on Python 2, I would suggest that you use Python 3. The default version of Python for the Python 3 meta-port looks like it was recently changed to v3.4 which would be a good choice - even if v3.5 is released and adopted as the default for the Python 3 meta-port by the time FreeBSD 11 is released, forward compatibility from 3.4 to 3.5 should be very good. Python 3.4 is already in wide use and therefore could be expected to be supported by the Python developers for some time after 3.5's release. You may find https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 helpful on the Python 2 vs Python 3 issue.
