For reference, for main [so: 16 at this point]:
(context predates the above change)


# pkg search -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-llvm\*
#

# pkg search -rFreeBSD-base -g FreeBSD-binutils\*
#

So: no for FreeBSD-llvm .


But for things that do exist that internally are based on some of llvm:
(the context has all the FreeBSD-* base packages installed)

That should at least give an idea, even if it might be incomplete.
