Comment(by jclift@…):

 Hmmm, thinking about the supported_archs of x86_64, it's probably better
 to add the i386 version as well.

 For the ppc and ppc64 variants, I didn't want to include them atm as I'm
 just not sure if they works.  I don't have any ppc gear to test, and was
 thinking it better to not potentially introduce a broken port.  There is a
 decent chance they'll work... but I just don't know.  Is the best idea
 here to just drop the "supported_archs" keyword?  (the MacPorts Guide
 doesn't mention it at all)

 I'll redo the variants as being --without-foo versions instead, as you
 recommend, and rationalise/reduce the number where it makes sense to.  Was
 obviously going for "everything as options", but that can be reduced, no
 stress.  Definitely including the docs (aka xhtml1) is a good idea. :)

 With python, I'm unsure.  My understanding of the libvirt Python bindings
 is that they'll work with anything 2.x based, including the system
 provided ones.  Guess I'd better look into making appropriate variants for
 each MacPort version.
