Well..... the cyrus-sasl2 port has the following variant declarations:

variant kerberos darwin {
	configure.args-append --enable-gssapi --with-gss_impl=mit
}

variant kerberos freebsd {
	configure.args-append --enable-gssapi --with-gss_impl=heimdal
}

I haven't seen a variant declaration with two names before... and it  
seems like at least some part of MacPorts thinks this is a single  
name with a space in it, which is bad for several parts of MacPorts  
which assume it doesn't have a space in it.
