The x11 (and perhaps quartz) variants do not all behave similarly.
ffmpeg is a command line program for conversions and filtering of audio and
video; it just has an optional ability to display video, but only on x11;
presumably nobody ever wrote a quartz display alternative for it. But some
Thank you for the reply, Ryan. This is very helpful.

Variants specified on the command line when installing a port propagate to any
dependencies that have not yet been installed. They do not propagate

propagate to dependencies?
Yes. You demonstrated that already when you tried to install gimp +quartz and
it passed that down to deps.
overrule existing variants?
No.

Should I expect a +quartz variant to propagate to dependencies, and
overrule existing variants?
I just tried to `install gimp +quartz`. This failed several times, each
time with errors about some recursive dependency of gimp requiring its
