Comment(by ionic@…):

 Several reasons:

 It's easy to grep the file to see which ports use some specific variant or
 grep the file for a specific port.

 Also, using this you can change variants for several ports at once and
 just rebuild the affected packages by running port upgrade --enforce-
 variants for instance.
