EDK2 fails to build via lang/gcc11-devel (or lang/gcc11). But it
turns out that EDK2 uses an external git submodule that is a
source for why.
That submodule has code that changed a header to use the newer
C variably modified types for a couple of functions but did not
change the function definitions to match. gcc10 did not report
about this but gcc11 correctly rejects the combination.

(I'm not claiming that is the only issue but it is sufficient to
stop the build.)
I know that there has been activity at the projects involved to
deal with such, but I've not been tracking the progress.
NOTE:
My build tests ended up using lang/gcc11-devel instead of
lang/gcc11 because Mk/bsd.gcc.mk still has the code:
# A concrete version has been selected. Set proper ports dependencies,
# CC, CXX, CPP, and flags.
V:= ${_USE_GCC:S/.//}
. if ${V} == 11
_GCC_PORT:= gcc${V}-devel
. else
_GCC_PORT:= gcc${V}
. endif
