I don't like the syntax +without_foo as it reads "with without foo" for

We don't use it because it's currently broken (ie, the -variants that are selected aren't stored, so when you go to upgrade the port, it doesn't keep the same variant selection. Meanwhile, the +variants are stored, so things 'work' when you do an upgrade).

But as said, port info should show default variants. And they could be
also marked (with a star or something) in port variants.

That seems like a good idea. You want to submit a patch? :)
