Unfortunately there's no simple, standard way to tell what variants
one might want for any given port.  It would be nice if MacPorts
showed more context on a variant, but as far as I can tell, it's up
to the given port maintainer.  Sometimes when I'm faced with a
similar question, I'll look at the actual port file to see if I can
ascertain what a variant is doing:

        cat `port file subversion`


"port cat subversion" might be easier.
