Comment (by g5pw@…):

 Thanks for the submission!

 Why is your portfile declaring a variant and then just adding a port
 dependency? I'ts better practice to force the setup script to actually use
 the port you list as dependency in a variant. Moreover, it looks like the
 {{{uncertainties}}} package is used just at runtime, so I think users can
 install the necessary package from MacPorts after installing {{{lmfit}}}.
 So, declaring a variant is pointless in my opinion, you can add a note
 about {{{uncertainties}}} if you want, but I wouldn't add a variant since
 the installed files are the same.

 Also, your port is missing a platform keyword. Use the {{{port lint}}}
 command to check the port file in the future.
