Variants are used for options the user may choose to enable or disable, but in this case it sounds like the user does not actually have any choice at all, and so should not be offered one.

freecad used to declare +gcc48 as the default variant until  https://trac.macports.org/changeset/130949 was committed. Given that this change set deleted fortran related default variants for a number of packages, we will likely hear about these in the near future.
