3.4 should be fine, which probably won't become ancient in the time that it takes for 8 to go EOL.  We're likely to have more problems bootstrapping Clang 3.5 on platforms that weren't supported by clang 3.4 (e.g. MIPS, PowerPC), but for those the best bet is probably a clang-binary or similar package that is cross compiled for each of those platforms.  Cross-compiling clang is quite easy, as long as you have a sysroot set up...

Note that this is also likely to be an issue for the base system for FreeBSD 11.
