Comment (by rhwood at macports.org):

 This seems like an excessively complex solution to a simple issue that may
 not be an issue...

 Some notes:

 Abiword going forward is going to be requiring gtk and all that entails. I
 would simply remove the abiword variant and make libxml2 a  dependency in
 all cases (libxml2 is small with only a couple of dependencies).

 Since poppler is not (as far as I can tell) dependent on X11 unless gtk or
 qt are, I would simply remove the dependencies on XFree86 and xrender from
 the port.

 I would make the variants all separate, so that instead of installing
 '''poppler +qt4Splash''', I would install '''poppler +qt4 +Splash''' this
 will make the portfile maintainer's life much simpler.
