llvm-config is a build dependency that spits out some lib paths that you can just hard-code for FreeBSD. So what in "others" does your port need?

I think the real problem is that LLVM and the related tools are build in one go, so you can't easily build llvm-config and others for the base version of LLVM. llvm-config needs shared libraries that are not installed in base because they supposedly require a prohibitive amount of build time. The LLVM port could be split up instead. There could be a devel/llvm-libs port that installed the shared libs for the base LLVM, and then a devel/llvm-config, devel/scan-build or devel/mclinker port that depends on the former port. This might require that a larger part of the LLVM source tree is imported into src/contrib, though.
