Comment (by cjones051073):

 You can two options.

 1. Just refer to the compiler directly as the versioned MP version, e.g.
 `/opt/local/bin/clang++-mp-20` - This is what all port builds that use a
 MP compiler do.

 2. Add the version specific install area to your path. e.g.
 `/opt/local/libexec/llvm-20/bin` - That area has all the utilities for
 LLVM 20 as the original unversioned names.

 Honestly, there are no scenarios I really recommend port selecting LLVM.
 In my opinion it just confuses things as doing so masks other compilers,
 like the system installed versions.
