Comment (by marcuscalhounlopez at mac.com):

 Basically, php4 needs to know about the javascript library
 spidermonkey.[[BR]]
 The specific error is below.

 I agree that the fix is ugly, but I do not know of a better fix within the
 MacPorts API.[[BR]]
 To my knowledge, there is no "variant_isset" command for previously
 installed ports.[[BR]]

 The only solutions I have thought of are to:
  * Use the ugly fix.
  * Cease making javascript a variant in sablotron and simply have it be
 part of the port (thus ensuring "--with-sablot-js=${prefix}" is always
 correct).
  * Have php4 +xlst depend on spidermonkey and always use "--with-sablot-
 js=${prefix}."
  * Have php4 test if the file ${prefix}/lib/libjs.dylib exists and use
 "--with-sablot-js=${prefix}" if it does.

 If "--with-sablot-js=${prefix}" is used and spidermonkey is not installed,
 the error is:
 {{{
 checking for JS_GetRuntime in -ljs... no
 configure: error: libjs not found. Please check config.log for more
 information.
 }}}

 If "--with-sablot-js=${prefix}" is not used, and sablotron links against
 it, the error is:
