You care about ports, but suggested change is americano-centrism which 
kills tr usage for national language documents due to impossibility to 
specify whole national alphabet easily, just by two letters.

Moreover, having differently treated regex ranges in tr vs other places 
you mention will produce additional chaos.

Back to the ports: it is not hard to run _any_ port's make or configure 
with LANG=C directly by the ports Mk system to eliminate that problem.
