I just reinstalled devel/ccache to test this.  The options to create 
links to clang and llvm were turned on in the port.  My old settings in 
/root/.cshrc were uncommented:

         setenv PATH /usr/local/libexec/ccache:$PATH
         setenv CCACHE_PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
         setenv CCACHE_DIR /usr/.ccache
         setenv CCACHE_COMPRESS yes

The last two are additions.  (I found that compression helped fit more 
files in the same space without measurably slowing down the build.)

In /etc/make.conf, I added this:

   .if (!empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/src*) || !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/obj*))
   .if !defined(NOCCACHE) && exists(/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/cc)
   CC:=${CC:C,^cc,/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/cc,1}
   CXX:=${CXX:C,^c\+\+,/usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/c++,1}
   .endif
   .endif

This is on 10.1-STABLE.  make(1) changed a while back, so very old 
versions of FreeBSD might have errors with those.

I logged back in as root and started a buildworld, and see this:

   /usr/local/libexec/ccache/world/cc -m32 ...

You're welcome, Steve. :)
