Comment (by brandelune):

 This is what I get:

 {{{
 sudo port select llvm
 Password:
 Available versions for llvm:
         mp-llvm-16
         none
 }}}

 If I use the available version, I get this:

 {{{
 sudo port select mp-llvm-16
 Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group 'mp-
 llvm-16' does not exist.
 Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'mp-llvm-16' does
 not exist.
 }}}

 If I use the way the version that is referred to for the install
 (llvm-16), I get this:
 {{{
 sudo port select llvm-16
 Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group
 'llvm-16' does not exist.
 }}}

 I’ve checked the message after the llvm-16 install and the only thing I
 get is:

 {{{

 }}}

 If creating the aliases to actually make use of llvm is a requirement, it
 seems to me that the information should be available in that part of the
 install process. For most of the other packages, that does not seem to be
 a requirement and the aliases seem to be automatically created.
