This old syntax was correct -- if it was broken, it is a bug.
The "double variant" syntax is used to create a variant that will be
applied *instead of* two singular variants. That is, if both "darwin"
and "kerberos" are selected, then the "darwin kerberos" variant will
be used instead of individual darwin {} and kerberos {} variants.
Fascinating, thanks for chiming in. I wonder what would have
changed in the MacPorts system then, that would have caused to
emerge as a "bug"? I've built this port many times on both PowerPC
and Intel machines with MacPorts 1.40 and less and never had a
problem. It would be worthwhile to take a closer look I think
because there might be other ports with the "double variant" syntax
styles that might also follow a bug pattern. Are double variants
common? I haven't noticed others before but then again I don't
spend a lot of time humanly reading Portfiles.
Here are all the "double variants" I can find:
dports $ grep -E '^variant[[:space:]]+([^[:space:]]+)' */*/Portfile | \
grep -v -E 'variant[[:space:]]+([^[:space:]]+)[[:space:]]*(\{|
conflicts|requires|description)'

I'm guessing that all except those in cyrus-sasl2 should have
"variant" changed to "platform", and that "x86" and "intel" should be
replaced with "i386". (Where did "x86" ever come from anyway?)
