Hello Mark, I think you may have a basic misunderstanding here. The compilers portgroup provides variants that select compilers, rather than being a way to select the compiler in the portfile. It will provide gcc/gfortran (in specific versions). If something like clang doesn't work, you remove it from the variants list. "active_variants" is about compatibility of compilers used by dependences. As far as I know, variants are definitely still the recommended way of handling compiler selection. I suggest you look at some examples to see how to use compilers portgroup. I made many in the science category, such as octopus, sparskit, berkeleygw, libxc.
