He wants the most magical power he can get for his own ends, so for now he shares many of the same goals as Daenerys. When he has enough, however, there is almost no telling what he will be capable of and what he may use it for.
Is that why he told Tyrion he hates magicians and sorcerers after one castrated him when he was a child? It could be argued he just said that to throw off suspicion, but nothing has be written that even hints of Varys being a sorcerer of any type. He's an expert actor, and intelligence gatherer. In short, he's a master spy, and supports whoever he thinks will be the best ruler. I won't go so far to say he's altruistic. His end game is to bring Aegon Targaryen back from exile to rule. With Varys as councilor, of course. He loves power as much as Littlefinger, but I think he's arguable more concerned for the kingdom as a whole. Littlefinger just wants to be king.

This theory is arguable as far fetched as the Tyrion is a Targaryen theory. Highly improbable.
