You don't have to take my word for it:

Yes, it does:

$> cat Portfile
PortSystem          1.0

name                PortName
version             PortVersion
maintainers         MaintainerHandle

categories          Categories
description         Description
long_description    LongDescription

platforms           Platforms

homepage            Homepage

if {[variant_isset foobar]} {
    ui_msg "+foobar!"
}

$> port variants +foobar
+foobar!
PortName has the variants:
   universal: Build for multiple architectures

I actually think this is a mis-feature, but it's not trivially solvable
and I haven't thought of a good solution I'd implement yet.
