Sudo port install portname +variant1 +variant2 … In the worst case, you can reinstall your ports manually by browsing myports.txt and installing the ports one by one, remembering to specify the appropriate variants: You may need to do this multiple times if there are multiple conflicting ports listed. If the script fails, for this reason, you can delete one of the conflicting ports from myports.txt and then simply run the script again. It's possible to have conflicting ports installed provided at most one of the conflicting set is active. One known issue is that the script will fail if there are conflicting ports in the list.
