 Something somewhere is probably using variant_isset but not checking
 whether the variant exists.

 It's something with the compilers portgroup. Tagging recent committers to
 the portgroup to see if they can look into that portion of it.

 It appears that 'port install mpich-default +gfortran' (even though
 'gfortran' appears nowhere in the mpich-default Portfile) is tripping some
 switches in compilers-1.0.tcl that are then being evaluated with (guessing
 here) inaccurate assumptions.
