MacPorts can swap between installed versions of a port while considering variants and version together, but you have to ask it to do so manually. Since variants are considered during this, if there's a specific set other than the default you must specify it. It's a good habit to always use all the variants when activating/deactivating ports:

sudo port activate cairo @1.12.0_0+quartz+universal+x11
