Okay, at the end this does not work as well. I was fooled by the output of port info, which seemed correct. See below:

petr% port info irods
irods @3.3 (net, science)
Sub-ports:            irods-doc, irods-client-icmds, irods-client-fuse
Variants:             ca_bundle, gsi, [+]unicode

petr% port info irods +gsi
irods @3.3 (net, science)
Sub-ports:            irods-doc, irods-client-icmds, irods-client-fuse
Variants:             [+]ca_bundle, +gsi, [+]unicode

petr% port info irods +gsi -ca_bundle
irods @3.3 (net, science)
Sub-ports:            irods-doc, irods-client-icmds, irods-client-fuse
Variants:             -ca_bundle, +gsi, [+]unicode

So this looks correct.

But installing irods +gsi would give the following so the updated default would not be considered.

petr% port installed "irods*"
The following ports are currently installed:
  irods @3.3_0+gsi+unicode (active)
  irods-client-fuse @3.3_0+gsi+unicode (active)
  irods-client-icmds @3.3_0+gsi+unicode (active)
  irods-doc @3.3_0 (active)

Any chance to get consistent behaviour there?
