Comment (by ryandesign):

 Sounds like you've already found your answer. Homebrew uses `--enable-
 aqua=yes` unconditionally. We only use it if you request the +quartz
 variant.

 We used to use +quartz by default in the tk port. It was
 [changeset:0363e864258a06b1ad878885dc8bf792083b7599/macports-ports changed
 to +x11 in 2015] for reasons explained in the commit message.

 Moving to +quartz as the default for all ports is tracked in #60511.

 Where in the documentation would be a good place to mention the +quartz
 variant, do you think? Anyone can submit improvements to the
 documentation, by the way.
