Can you please ask upstream and link the answer? Ideally open a bug
report with a minimal example?

I don't think that variants are a good idea (even if we make a patch,
it's better to avoid variants). If it's needed, it should really be
upstreamed. Imagine users with MacPorts happily testing their apps,
figuring out they work ok, and then this would no longer work on
someone else's PC, without anyone from the developers noticing, or
taking them hours, days etc. to figure out why it suddenly broke.
