Naming is important.  I think "macosx" is a terrible name for a variant
because it doesn't mean anything to someone that doesn't already know.  I
like the snmp variants to php5 as a model.  Probably because I contributed
them.

+snmp
+macports_snmp

It seems clear to me what each one days.  And if it still weren't clear
there are the Portfile comments.

# This compiles PHP5 with SNMP linked against Apple's included NET-SNMP.

# This compiles PHP with SNMP linked against MacPorts' NET-SNMP.
