 Replying to [comment:7 neverpanic]:
 > I don't think we should do this. If you allow different ports to satisfy
 a dependency, they should be compatible. If those are libraries, they
 should be binary-compatible.

 > If we did this, we would end up in a situation where a port would build
 differently (and produce different artifacts) depending on the
 dependencies installed on your system, rather than the port and its
 selected variants.

 And that's exactly the mess we currently have with libressl; see #54744.
 And yes, I agree with using variants instead of implementing #34833.
