New description:

 In going through wiki:Migration (prompted by the Mavericks upgrade, as you
 might expect), the `sudo port clean all` step failed for me when it got to
 a port named `clutter`, saying “error evaluating variants” because `+x11`
 conflicts with `+quartz`.

 Commenting out the (single) line of variant flags in
 `/etc/macports/variants.conf` got me past this. But it seems unnecessarily
 brittle that the `clean` operation should fail because of the configured
 variant flags.
