Comment (by kencu):

 I can't speak to that, but (AFAIK) none of the clang compilers declare a
 dep on perl, so (AFAIK) perl could build with any compiler.

 Unless there is some way that some other thing that ultimately clang needs
 requires a macports perl -- can't say about that. Bin deps on perl confuse
 the rdeps too much for me to sort that out.

 (Oh -- and what is already built with some baked in /opt/local/bin/clang-
 mp-3.4 is really hard to say.)

 I don't know what the best course is, but the easiest course is to just
 require clang-3.4 I guess. Luckily there I have reduced the clang-3.4
 footprint from about 800MB to 16 MB recently :>
