Comment (by mtb19@…):

 I know one can create separate python packages for these, but I'm not sure
 this is the appropriate approach. For example, is the only way to do this
 by creating (e.g.) <.../python/py-quickfix/Portfile> (etc.)? Or can it be
 done by modifying <.../devel/quickfix/Portfile>?

 There are several MacPorts-specific patches that need to be applied to
 quickfix before it is built. It seems to me creating an entirely separate
 python package would create a maintenance headache (i.e., it would have to
 make sure its version, patches, etc. were in sync with the devel/quickfix
 port).

 Instead, I would like to modify devel/quickfix/Portfile to include python
 variants for the python interface. How do I do that in devel/quickfix, or
 is that not possible? Can someone point me to an example of a similar
 package?
