The ports system is not ready to use clang as the only compiler. If you 
want to add this hack to your make.conf it's better if you do it 
conditionally only for this port like:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*x11/rxvt-unicode*}
   CC=                   clang
   CXX=                  clang++
   CPP=                  clang-cpp
.endif

Binaries and library generated with gcc and clang should be compatible 
with each other, so, if you just compile a few ports with clang, no need 
to rebuild everything.
