apache and mysql5 variants

Was adding the usual mamp stuff to a new machine

port install mysql5 +server
  - or -
port install mysql5-devel +server

Does the only thing the +server variant adds is a launchd/startup  
item?  From looking at the port, that appears to be the case.

If that is the case, looking at
port info apache2

Variants:    darwin, darwin_7, darwin_9, eventmpm, no_startupitem,  
openbsd,
              openldap, preforkmpm, universal, workermpm

'no_startupitem' I assume is the same launchd/startup scenario?   
Perhaps this could be consistent?  I would vote for the +server  
method, since it makes sense, saying +server implies you want it up  
all the time, beyond a reboot.

This would mean, `port install apache2 +server` would become the new  
method for accomplishing this.

Thoughts?
