I don't understand how that would work: I thought lcdf-typetools depends on the

The texlive variant adds the texlive-bin dependency exclusively for kpathsea. 
If you don't use the variant, there is no dependency and texlive's kpathsea 
isn't used.

  variant texlive conflicts ptex description {Link against TeXLive's

    configure.args-append --with-kpathsea=${prefix}

Doesn't the portfile line

  default_variants +texlive

mean that variant is, in fact, selected by default?

When I executed lcdf-typetools, I discovered that macports was about to install texlive-common. So evidently that variant is selected.

(i) How would one disable any variant whatsoever?

(ii) is kpathsea in fact needed to use the lcdf-typetools in order to convert and install a font for use by TeX. (That's my whole purpose in installing lcdf-typetools: to be able to use some OpenType fonts with TeX, by converting them to Type 1 fonts.)
