It's using the clang compiler collection:

However, the very old version of clang included in Xcode 3 could only compile C code; to compile C++ code, you had to use llvm-g++-4.2, so that's what MacPorts "clang" compiler collection does on that version of Xcode. If that won't work for you, blacklist those old versions of clang too by adding "{clang < 137}" to the blacklist.
