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.
