Check out libsdl:
...
port cat libsdl | grep -A4 "variant_isset no_x11"
if {[variant_isset no_x11]} {
    default_variants -x11
} else {
    default_variants +x11
}
...

or others:
echo $REPO
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/ports
find $REPO -maxdepth 3 -name Portfile -exec echo {} \; -exec grep -A5 -i -E -- "variant_isset.*no_x11" {} \; | grep -B1 -v /Portfile
...
