Modify the ports.mk so that it will check a flag, and, if it is
present and the compiler is present, have it "prefer" the Compaq
compiler.  Then for those ports where it works, just set the flag
in their Makefile.

Allow this behaviour to be globally overridden via make.conf.
      
But before we could do this we would need a list of "known-to-work" ports.
    

What's the added value of that? I'd rather see the changes to the mk
file and have the flag set for ports that work, than first compiling a
long list before ever setting any flag. That's just buffering :-)

OK, of course that could be working hand in hand - but before you sumbit it to be added to ports you should make clear it really works... on different CPUs etc...
