Comment (by ryandesign):
Yes, I presume you created that `c++` symlink, back in September 2020
looks like, by running `sudo port select gcc mp-gcc7`.
Ordinarily, if you on longer wanted that symlink and the other related
symlinks now, you would run `sudo port select gcc none`.
However, in October 2020, the gcc select mechanism was changed to no
longer install a `c++` symlink; see #48647. It seems likely that for users
who already had a gcc selected prior to that change, their existing `c++`
symlink might not have been removed.
You can delete the c++ symlink manually.
