Oddly, the Makefile has commented out code to check for clang in base:
#.if !exists(/usr/bin/clang)
#BUILD_DEPENDS+=        ${LOCALBASE}/bin/clang:${PORTSDIR}/lang/clang
#USE_BINUTILS=  yes
#CXXCPP=        clang++ -E
#CPP=   clang -E
#.endif

But the version in 9-stable of the past several weeks is 3.1, so,
unless the ports version has some important changes, it looks like it
is a waste of time to build the port of both clang and llvm.
