<div style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px;">I’m trying
to improve VTK portfile. I would like to be able to check for a
python variant to be enabled, whatever it is, whatever version of
python. How do I do that? </div>

There is no such thing as a generic python variant. You should
provide variants that use the various different python versions
that macports supports, whatever VTK can support, and leave it to
the user to decide which they wish to use, if need be picking one
as a default variant (python 3.7 would be the obvious choice).
