The wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort page is accurate as far as it goes, but you're right, it does not really talk about variants.

Enabling a variant works normally, the problem only occurs when trying to disable a variant that's on by default.

The solution is to include the argument "--" before the variants: 

sudo port install -- -no_single

Anyone can edit the wiki, but I'm working on rewriting the wiki page now and will incorporate this information. Thanks for pointing out this deficiency.

    33The instructions don't work quite right.  sudo port install works quite fine with the Portfile for boost 1.58.
