The atlas port has multiple variants 
(https://guide.macports.org/#using.variants):

```
❯ port variants atlas
atlas has the variants:
   gcc49: build using macports-gcc-4.9
     * conflicts with gcc5 mpclang37 perf
[+]gcc5: build using macports-gcc-5
     * conflicts with gcc49 mpclang37 perf
   mpclang37: use mp-clang-3.7 and gfortran
     * conflicts with gcc49 gcc5 perf
   nofortran: Forgo use of fortran compiler
```

You can also find the variants on the port’s details page: 
https://ports.macports.org/port/atlas/details/

I’m not sure you should be expecting too much from this port, because 4 years 
ago the port maintainer wrote: “(…) everyone should seriously drop atlas, 
especially since support for new Apple hardware is likely never to be added”

LLMs like Gemini are wasting a lot of people’s time with hallucinations sadly.
