Build failure encountered with databases/py-xapian - while the build reports not finding python3-sphinx, it is built and available.  The problem seems to be related to documentation being disabled by default via make.conf.

checking for python3 sphinx module... no (try installing package python3-sphinx
configure: error: Python3 bindings build dependencies not found
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to sunpoet@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/wrkdirs/usr/ports/databases/py-xapian/work-py311/xapian-bindings-1.4.29/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might be
a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your system
(e.g. a /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static info -g -Ea).
