As said, this is where the mix up of the issues gets a bit incorrect.

libc++ is available since 10.7.
clang is available from Apple way before Xcode 5.

It's just that the libc++ of 10.9 and clang of Xcode 5
are the first versions by Apple that have had a chance
to use the clang/libc++ that has (or claims to have)
full C++11 support (actually, I don't know
if that's really the case since I don't have 10.9/Xcode 5).

When sticking to C++03 or at most the subset of C++11
that had already been implemented when 10.7.x shipped
(which most ports currently do, I think),
macports should work with libc++ on the three most recent
OSX versions.
(However, I didn't test that assumption, so I don't know
if that's really correct from 10.7 onwards.)
