Ok, in the log I see:


DEBUG: Found port in file:///opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports/devel/swig
DEBUG: epoch: in tree: 0 installed: 0
DEBUG: swig 1.3.40_0 exists in the ports tree
DEBUG: swig 1.3.40_0 +python is the latest installed
DEBUG: swig 1.3.40_0 +python is active
DEBUG: Merging existing variants python into variants
DEBUG: new fully merged portvariants: python +


So it recognizes that swig is installed with the +python variant,

But then it wants to go and install swig again with its default  
variants, which will pull in all the dependencies you mentioned. I  
don't know why it thinks it should install swig again.


What command did you run to produce this output? What do you have in  
variants.conf?
