If you don't need the CLTools, do nothing.
If you need the CLTools, install the latest version (or likely just stick with the version that you have if you already have them).

If a port is using an SDK and you haven't configure it to do so, that's a port bug.

Why?  Fix the bug in the port.

The 10.11 CLTools installs the 10.11 headers to /.  Your issue with cmake is likely that the port is (incorrectly) trying to use the 10.12 SDK and expecting it to match the base system somehow... ?
