Comment (by rpspringuel):

 I think it would be useful.  As is one is only going to see the note
 before installation if one knows to look for it with `port variants`.
 Having the message appear during installation (either always or only upon
 a failed installation) would have alerted me to the needed change without
 having to post to this issue.  Once I knew the change was needed it was
 fairly elementary for me to figure out how to make the change and do it.
 The problem was simply knowing that it needed to be done.

 Another option would be to add to the information generated by `port
 info`.  This could be the full message, or simply a note to check `port
 variants` for extra information regarding the mactex variant.
