I remember there has been discussion about this, i.e. variants specified in dependencies. I wonder what the current status is, as I noticed the ticket about this (#126, the oldest one open, I believe) was milestoned to 1.5. At least in one earlier discussion there were objections to do this due to the difficulty in implementing, but I would like to see this, e.g. because mpkg is based on very short trial useless without this capability (and mpkg is something that I could use). If this means that I should dive into the deep core of MacPorts, I would be willing to give it a try.
My own (potentially unpopular) opinion is that this is possible to implement and impossible to support, as it would introduce exponential complexity to the dependency tree.
