Do you have a reference where this is stated? AFAIK it's only there
to make sure to install a compiler that is capable of supporting that
version of the standard, not to request the compiler to build.Setting the 
CXXFLAGS is either done by the build system of
the software you're porting or can be requested by setting
USE_CXXSTD=c++xx in the port's Makefile.
