Apart from creating another port I would also advise whether if you can add a feature knob for setuptools_scm in python.mk.We don't need more feature knobs in python.mk, especially not those related to setuptools.
On the other hand, once devel/py-setuptools58 becomes fully operational for USE_PYTHON=distutils, setuptools itself cannot remain in setuptools_scm's RUN_DEPENDS, since not every setuptools_scm consumer is PEP-517-compliant (build-depends would try to install both setuptools packages, which conflict). So a dependency shorthand variable, and not a feature knob, encapsulating both setuptools{,_scm} can be considered. Still have reservations even for this however.
