Comment(by jmr@…):

 I have a crazy idea. Suppose we did something like this in the module
 ports:
 {{{
 name py-foo
 ...
 variant python26 conflicts python25 python24 {
     name py26-foo
     depends_lib-delete port:py-bar
     depends_lib-append port:py26-bar
 }
 }}}
 That is, actually change the port name in the variants. The beauty is that
 this takes care of the dependencies without needing #126. The horror is
 that this is not how variants are meant to work...
