Hello.
Using the legacy system's gcc 4.2, the port devel/icu compiles and 
installs without error.
Using clang, the port is not installed properly.

Using a portmaster -f xorg, which triggers the build of all ports 
neccessary for xorg ports
matched by the pattern "xorg" results in a stop of the build process. I 
can not test further
the proper build of the X11 subsystem without excluding explicitely 
devel/icu (amongst others).

The error occured does not seem to be "obvious" to me, so reporting this 
issue by a PR seems the proper
way.

Can this be fixed so that clang compiles the port and portmaster 
installes the port properly?
