 I tried to write a patch for it, but I failed (I never wrote a single line
 of tcl, and I'm a pretty lame programmer), anyway, I think it's really
 trivial for who knows the port (the tcl script) codebase.

 Now, for example, "port variants git-core" returns (note that doc is in
 default_variants):
 {{{
 git-core has the variants:
         universal
         doc: Install HTML and plaintext documentation
         svn: Bi-directional subversion repository support
 }}}

 I'd like to have something like:
 {{{
 git-core has the variants:
         universal
         doc: Install HTML and plaintext documentation (default)
         svn: Bi-directional subversion repository support
 }}}
