Can I trick base into installing ports that are built against libc++ on systems configured to stdlib=libc++ ?

My humble suggestion would be to leave tricks aside, revive
    https://trac.macports.org/ticket/50448
and do that trivial fix + whatever else is needed (not that much) that
will enable your (and everyone else's legacy) machine to get proper
updates from the buildbot.

Can we get this moving (again), and moved?
