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!

The indicator should be grey if a build has never been attempted. If 
this port will always fail to install on the buildbot, you should always 
set 'known_fail yes'. Telling the buildbot not to bother is what that 
option is for.
