With FreeBSD's ports if you install a Python port it will install a
pythonX.Y in /usr/local/bin, depending on what is specified with the make
variable PYTHON_DEFAULT_VERSION "python" will point to that version. So it
can refer to either 2.x or 3.x.

NetBSD's pkgsrc does not have 3.x in the tree yet. But if no "python" exists
yet, then pkg_alternatives will link it to the version of choice.

Not sure what either OpenBSD or DragonFly BSD are doing, but it will be
along these lines as well.
