pkg-fallout reports, after setuptools attempts to fetch pytest as a dependency:
distutils.errors.DistutilsError: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pytest<4.0.0,>=3.8.2')
pytest was recently updated to 4.x, which is presumably the root source of the
issue, but I wasn't able to identify the source of the pinned pytest version,
or why the fetch of pytest was attempted.
However, remove pytest-runner from BUILD_DEPENDS as a stop gap, since as
setup.py states:
# Only require pytest-runner if actually running the tests
needs_pytest = {'pytest', 'test', 'ptr'}.intersection(sys.argv)
pytest_runner = ['pytest-runner'] if needs_pytest else []
Further, since the port is using pythonX.Y -m pytest as the test invocation,
rather than pythonX.Y setup.py test, the dependency is spurious anyway.

Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored. They will
automatically get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what
versions they support.
There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils
but need FLAVORS to be set. A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if
using distutils but flavors are not wanted.
A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been
added to cope with Python ports that did not have the Python
PKGNAMEPREFIX but are flavored.
USES=python now also exports a PY_FLAVOR variable that contains the
current python flavor. It can be used in dependency lines when the
port itself is not python flavored. For example, deskutils/calibre.
By default, all the flavors are generated. To only generate flavors
for the versions in PYTHON2_DEFAULT and PYTHON3_DEFAULT, define
BUILD_DEFAULT_PYTHON_FLAVORS in your make.conf.
In all the ports with Python dependencies, the *_DEPENDS entries MUST
end with the flavor so that the framework knows which to build/use.
This is done by appending '@${PY_FLAVOR}' after the origin (or
@${FLAVOR} if in a Python module with Python flavors, as the content
will be the same). For example:
RUN_DEPENDS= ${PYTHON_PKGNAMEPREFIX}six>0:devel/py-six@${PY_FLAVOR}
