You can't specify variants in dependencies. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/126

You can use the require_active_variants procedure from the active_variants 1.1 portgroup. There are many portfiles using this procedure that you can use as examples, and take a look at the documentation in the comments at the top of this file:
