    195195No.  The current state of the dependency engine is unable to handle specifying anything beyond "port X requires port Y" or "port X requires a file which can be provided by port Y."  There have been discussions on revamping the engine (see the mailing list archives) but nothing concrete as yet.  This is why the most useful variants really shouldn't be variants at all but rolled into the port itself.
