Comment(by devans@…):

 It still does not honor variants set in variants.conf.  In my case,
 building gimp2 in a MacPorts installation where
 +no_x11 +quartz is set in variants.conf.
 {{{
 port upgrade gimp2
 }}}
  follows the default variants in dependencies causing
 X11 libraries to be installed but
 {{{
 port deactivate gimp2
 port install gimp2
 }}}

 works correctly.  So I think you need to add support for variants in
 variants.conf.

 Note that this also happens for port deps
 {{{
 port deps gtk2 (with variants +no_x11 +quartz in variants.conf)

 gtk2 has build dependencies on:
         pkgconfig
         gtk-doc
 gtk2 has library dependencies on:
         cairo
         fontconfig
         freetype
         glib2
         jpeg
         tiff
         libiconv
         libpng
         jasper
         atk
         pango
         gettext
         zlib
         xorg-libXi
         xorg-libXrandr
         xorg-libXcursor
         xorg-libXinerama
         xorg-libXdamage
         xorg-libXcomposite
         xorg-libXfixes
 gtk2 has runtime dependencies on:
         shared-mime-info
 }}}

 which always shows dependencies based on the default variants without
 regard to variants.conf
 but
 {{{
 port deps gtk2 +no_x11

 gtk2 has build dependencies on:
         pkgconfig
         gtk-doc
 gtk2 has library dependencies on:
         cairo
         fontconfig
         freetype
         glib2
         jpeg
         tiff
         libiconv
         libpng
         jasper
         atk
         pango
         gettext
         zlib
 gtk2 has runtime dependencies on:
         shared-mime-info
 }}}

 Perhaps there is shared code?
