Does openmp still require gcc?

This was posted to questions@ with no responses, so I'm trying here.

I was surprised that a port (ImageMagick7) is compiled using gcc. Looking
at ports/Mk/Uses/compiler.mk and discovered:
.if ${_COMPILER_ARGS:Mopenmp}
.if ${COMPILER_TYPE} == clang
USE_GCC=        yes
CHOSEN_COMPILER_TYPE=   gcc
.endif
.endif

If oprnmp is not enabled, clang is used.

I thought that clang support for openmp has been around for quite a while.
Is this a FreeBSD-11 issue or is it historical and obsolete? Or am I just
confused? I used to trip over openmp conflicts all the time, but I thought
(hoped?) that they were a thing of the past.
