I think MacPorts base does not contain code that does what you want in this case. If you want the variant selections -corefoundation and -quzrtz to be passed to the tcl and tk ports, you have to specify them on the command line when you install pymol. The require_active_variants portgroup is not part of base and base doesn't know anything about it.

    1721to unbreak pymol afterwards. While I understand it is likely impossible for port to look ahead and know about the require_active_variants requirements of pymol when tcl/tk, I don't understand why they can't be honored at the time pymol is built by forcing the reinstallation of tcl and tk with the appropriate variants as dictated by the require_active_variants settings in the pymol Portfile.
