KDevelop is an IDE and uses libclang to parse C/C++ sources. There is
no requirement that libclang should be of the same version as the
clang that was used to compile the port. Moreover, the port itself can
be build with GCC too, but still use libclang at the runtime.

KLEE is a LLVM IR interpreter so it uses libLLVM.so, but again the
port itself can be compiled with whatever user likes. There is no
reason to require building it with ports LLVM.
