I wonder, why to create as many SQLAlchemy ports as releases (it's just an ORM 
after all).
The easiest way, imho is focusing on 1.0.x releases, and having only one port 
databases/py-sqlalchemy.

This is the conservative approach.  It may well be the case that
everything that depends on sqlalchemy can perfectly well just use the
latest version, in which case the number of ports can be reduced.

However we don't know how compatible the different versions are yet, and
it will take some time and experimentation to work it out.  In the mean
time, having this many ports will provide some assurance of compatibility.

Personally I am just starting to look at sqlalchemy so can't comment on
the compatibility between versions.

Having a look at bsdstats.org they show port install numbers of

py27-sqlalchemy    9
py27-sqlalchemy06  147
py27-sqlalchemy08  1

It may be worth considering keeping 0.6 for compatibility and drop 0.7, 0.8, 0.9

As we currently have 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8 I would skip adding 0.9 and just add 1.0
