Comment (by barracuda156):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign]:
 > There isn't a way to write such a Portfile. This is why the use of
 variants for features that other ports might depend on is discouraged.
 >
 > The usual answer in these cases would be that either R should include
 tcltk support by default or rather unconditionally without a variant, or
 the tcltk components of the R port should be split off into a separate
 port upon which a dependency can then be declared (if they are in fact
 separate components).

 I see, thanks. I will think what solution could work better in this case.
