CC has been an alias for the default C++ compiler the entire life FreeBSD has
had a C++ compiler.
Sure, it isn't based on any "standards" but it is a very de-facto standard that
many ports rely on.
FreeBSD isn't the only system to do this. Sun did this for years, as did SGI

So "it is icky" likely isn't a good enough reason.
Do a ports run w/o it causing any problems and prove me wrong...

Autoconf and cmake builds will try a list and if they pick c++ next they'll be
