Disabling variants is done by using the minus sign prefix.
Sudo port whatever -texlive disables the variant.

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

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-delete --without-kpathsea
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.)
But what does the texlive variant do? Why would one want or not want
that variant? So far as I could see, the docs for lcdf-typetools don't
describe that.
