In fact there is such a thing:
<https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30008>

However, I see the default being clang as expected. The default compiler
is based on $xcodeversion, which is derived from the output of
`xcodebuild -version`, and controls the value of CC, CXX etc. during the
configure step.

Of course, whether any given port will obey those environment variables
is a different question. Also, some ports of course change
configure.compiler for various reasons.
