It works for me (does it perhaps only work with older Xcode?), but
that doesn't make the rest of the question obsolete.

I completely agree with that part (the need to add functionality to
the port). However I have a couple of questions:

1.) In past wxwidgets was conflicting with wxwidgets-devel. How can I
overcome the problem of wx-config (which is almost the only
problematic/conflicting file)?

Error: org.macports.activate for port wxWidgets30 returned: Image
error: /opt/local/bin/wx-config is being used by the active
wxWidgets-devel port.  Please deactivate this port first, or use 'port
-f activate wxWidgets30' to force the activation.

2.) What are the guidelines for port maintainers (I didn't see that
wxWidgets30 was present)? I already provide +wxwidgets_devel variant.
How should I enable the user to use wxWidgets30 instead of
wxWidgets_devel? How should the variants be called and how should they
be implemented? Is there any way to create a wxWidgets PortGroup to
take care of some "nasty" wxWidgets-related aspects?
