Description
Here are some details about my PR
Fixed the issue where pyenv tries to find non-existent Homebrew package names (like [email protected]) in MacPorts environment, causing installation failures.

My PR adds the following unit tests (if any)
Tested Python 3.11.15 installation in MacPorts environment, confirming that the "Error: No available formula" error no longer occurs.
Test environment:
Additional Context
This issue affects users who use MacPorts instead of Homebrew as their package manager on macOS. The root cause is that MacPorts uses different package naming conventions (without the @ symbol) compared to Homebrew. When pyenv tries to find Homebrew-style package names in MacPorts, it fails with the error "Error: No available formula with the name '[email protected]'".
This fix makes pyenv more package manager-agnostic by detecting the environment and using appropriate package names.
