Yes. The strategy that is meant to be used is: include the cxx11 1.0 portgroup. Doing so indicates that the software requires C++11. If the user's MacPorts installation uses libstdc++, the portgroup will prevent the port from being installed, and will direct the user to the LibcxxOnOlderSystems wiki page which will give the user instructions for either upgrading their OS or reinstalling all ports with libc++.

That's a good question. I'm not sure.
