There is something else.

Right now, gimp2 has

python24
without_gnome
without_python

To follow your (rainer's) logic, gimp2 would then have

python24
python25
gnome

with gnome and python25 both as default.

Is this possible with the current implementation?

Next, let's say I want python24, then I will have to do

port install gimp2 +python24 +gnome

If I don't want gnome I'll have to do

port install gimp2 +python25

The point is that internals and default become less transparant and  
more complex for the user.

Many might do "-gnome" and miss python or "python24" and miss  
gnome ...  That is the problem with default variants.
