I think the real problem is in lang/python/* files.

libgnome-desktop/Makefile includes lang/python/application.mk.
If I understand correctly, this means that libgnome-desktop package
contains application written in python.
That is, this doesn't mean that this packages provides python extensions
written in C.

Now look at

  lang/python/application.mk

     15 
     16 .include "../../lang/python/pyversion.mk"
     17 

and

  lang/python/pyversion.mk:

    141 PTHREAD_OPTS+=  require
    142 .include "../../mk/pthread.buildlink3.mk"
    143 
    144 .if defined(PYTHON_FOR_BUILD_ONLY)
    145 BUILDLINK_DEPMETHOD.python?=    build
    146 .endif
    147 .if defined(PYPKGSRCDIR)
    148 .include "${PYPKGSRCDIR}/buildlink3.mk"
    149 .endif

I didn't test this proposal but it looks like the above lines from 
lang/python/pyversion.mk should be moved to 
lang/python/extension.mk

Again, If I understand correctly lang/python/pyversion.mk is not for
python extensions writtent in C too. Right?
