Does pkgsrc have "port variants" like macports?

Not for prebuilt binaries (variants are just separate packages) but because the pkgsrc repo is just a collection of Makefiles, you can cd into the directory and run

    bmake show-options
Then set PKG_OPTIONS.somepkg and

    bmake install
Or even just edit the Makefile.
