You can see what it does by looking at the lang/python port Makefile:
it looks through the library directories of all non-default, supported
python versions, and rebuilds every port (other than any supported
version of python) that installs a file in those directories.  That
may not include every port that depends upon python, but most of the
ports affected by the target should be rebuilt when switching default
versions of python.
