Isn't Quartz more about using native Mac OS X graphics drawing  
routines? IMHO it has nothing to do with what user interface is  
provided. At least, that's what the +quartz variant means in e.g. the  
cairo and pango ports. I thought the variant name for providing a Mac  
OS X GUI interface was +aqua.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_(user_interface)

I would say something like:

quartz {Use Mac OS X Quartz graphics drawing routines}
aqua {Provide native Mac OS X Aqua user interface}
