I was recently asked to do some FreeBSD ports support work. I mostly use a
Mac and the MacPorts system. MacPorts has the concept of a variant for a
port, but I can't find the analogue in the FreeBSD system.
Does the FreeBSD ports system have the concept of a variant? If so, can
someone point me in the right direction on how to create one?
Describing what a "variant" is, how it works in MacPorts, and what you
are trying to do would help a lot. :)
The closest guess I could make would be "slave port", but I don't
think that works the same way.

Chris, the job needed should be described in more detail, but at glance
options framework - it's what you looking for [1].
