mdmg/mpkg problems with variants

hi,

I have some problems creating a mpkg/mdmg, but I never used this  
feature before so it might be some stupid mistake.

What I did in order (starting from a fresh macports install)
turned autoclean feature off; added +no_x11 +macosx +quartz to  
variants.conf
port install kdenlive
  -> wait two days :-)
than I wanted to build a mpkg by doing

$ sudo port mpkg kdenlive
--->  Computing dependencies for kdenlive
--->  Creating pkg for kdenlive-0.7.6
Error: Requested variants "+q16" do not match original selection "".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean ImageMagick'  
or specify the force option (-f).
--->  Computing dependencies for Xft2
--->  Creating pkg for Xft2-2.1.14
--->  Computing dependencies for XviD
--->  Creating pkg for XviD-1.2.2
Error: Requested variants "+darwin_9" do not match original selection  
"".
Please use the same variants again, perform 'port clean akonadi' or  
specify the force option (-f).
--->  Computing dependencies for aspell-dict-en
--->  Creating pkg for aspell-dict-en-6.0
....

a lot of the dependencies gave me this error regarding some variant  
mismatch. using -f as suggested does not change anything.
only forcing the specific ports, e.g.
$ sudo port -f pkg ImageMagick
--->  Computing dependencies for ImageMagick
--->  Creating pkg for ImageMagick-6.5.8-0

creates the packages, but
trying to build the kdenlive metapackage afterwards fails again as  
already shown above.

Am I doing something wrong or is the variant tracking while building  
packages somehow buggy?

thanks
Dominik
