The main problem with this would be the upgrade path for existing installations. 1) Store cxx_stdlib per port in registry. With this, existing installations can be marked as outdated when the global setting is changed. 2) Honor cxx_stdlib in selection of archive_sites (similar to applications_dir and frameworks_dir) 3) Release base with changed defaults 4) Configure buildbots with libc++, publish binary archives in different directory and configure that for archive_sites in the ports tree.
