There is another less-than-ideal behaviour however, where the port health indicator shows the status of the last build of the port on that platform, even if that build was not for the current version of the port.

Just to beat a dead horse a little more…

A port I’ve been working on (OpenShot) requires OS X 10.9 or later.  It also needs a non-default variant (py-pyqt5 +webkit).  So I can use 'known_fail yes’ on older OS versions and the active_variants portgroup to insist on the needed variant.  The upshot is that Port Health will show green for the older unsupported OS versions and red on the OS versions where the port can actually be built!
