Comment:

 Yes, you can put startupitem directives in variants. However, it is
 usually best not to do so because "port load" and "port unload" would not
 work seamlessly, and furthermore, MacPorts base does not currently have
 the capability for creating more than one launchd plist in a single port.
 Of course you can manually create any file and copy it where it needs to
 go.

 However, consider whether master and minion might best be implemented as
 subports.
