I had a look at this wiki page. The mesa ports only recently switched
to use of LLVM_DEFAULT. According to the wiki page you believe the mesa
port should have kept its MESA_LLVM_VER. It should use LLVM_DEFAULT as
a default value if there are no reasons to use a different value. This
seems to be a sane suggestion. I cannot tell if the ports tree should
use this idiom.
