llvm-config is a build dependency that spits out some lib paths that you =
can just hard-code for FreeBSD. So what in "others" does your port need?

I think the real problem is that LLVM and the related tools are build in =
one go, so you can't easily build llvm-config and others for the base =
version of LLVM. llvm-config needs shared libraries that are not =
installed in base because they supposedly require a prohibitive amount =
of build time. The LLVM port could be split up instead. There could be a =
devel/llvm-libs port that installed the shared libs for the base LLVM, =
and then a devel/llvm-config, devel/scan-build or devel/mclinker port =
that depends on the former port. This might require that a larger part =
of the LLVM source tree is imported into src/contrib, though.
