PortIndex failing for a few ports due to hdf5 not active

Yes this was due to a mistake in r142662, now fixed.

However, it is also due to the fact that cdo and ncarg seem to need hdf5
but do not declare it as a dependency.

Additionally, cdo, ncarg, and hdfeos5 all use the mpi portgroup strangely
(e.g. below), in trying to check how hdf5 was installed when parsing the
Portfile. Is one supposed to be able to do this sort of thing?

set v [mpi_active_variant_name bin:h5pcc:hdf5]
if {${v} != "" } {
    depends_build-append    port:yaxt
    configure.cc            ${prefix}/bin/h5pcc
}

The mpi portgroup has this comment, in mpi.enforce_variant, when the mpi
variants do not match:
                # instead of trying to append to a default variant (which
fails
                # silently for some cases), we should be explicit and tell
the
                # user about the error
                ui_error "Need to select variant +$otmpi"
which suggests to me that what is being done in these Portfiles may be
problematic.
