The variance of a portfolio is defined as w * C * w', where w is the vector (dimensions: 1 x N) with the portfolio weight and C is the matrix (dimensions N x N) with the variances / covariances of the assets. If you want the standard deviation of the portfolio - that is what most people are interested, even though they speak of the variance or the risk of the portfolio - just take the square root of the above term, e.g. calculate sqrt(w * C * w').
