Basically yes. You could follow point 3 of
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/Migration
except that between uninstalling installed and reinstalling requested
you need to change macports.conf or rather follow
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/LibcxxOnOlderSystems
On the other hand, before we start distributing binaries from the
libc++ buildbots you could just as well install another copy of
MacPorts under a different prefix, for example
/opt/libcxxlocal
or any other folder of your choice and keep two installations active
(just in case that something goes wrong with libc++, you could still
use the package from the other installation).
