I have now tried it with `gtk2` and it indeed stopped looking for the old
clang. Sadly, it now fails without any hint at all:

~ sudo port install gtk2 configure.compiler=macports-clang-8.0

The following dependencies will be installed:
 clang-8.0
...
Continue? [Y/n]:
Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port gtk2 failed
