Yes, it's different. The ports tree is continuously maintained to
follow latest revisions of the software and to provide enhancements,
fix bugs, etc. I committed some changes to the python port
yesterday.

If you're only interested in python you can get the latest bits by FTP
from ftp.freebsd.org. cd to /pub/FreeBSD/ports/lang and get
python.tar. I think you can also get the port from the web page
(http://www.freebsd.org/ports/).  If you want a more general way to
stay up to date with the ports collection, check the handbook, chapter
16, ``The Cutting Edge: FreeBSD-current and FreeBSD-stable''.
