I recently installed the port, which has icc 8.1, but it fails to compile even simple C++ programs, because it cannot cope with the libstdc++ headers from g++ 4.2.1. You have to do all kinds of tricks, such as installing the gcc 3.4.x port, and pointing the Intel compiler to its libstdc++ headers and libraries, or nothing will work. Updating that port to icc 11.1 is probably not a trivial task, and making sure it compiles programs properly is even trickier... :)
