First you have to install the desired clang version from ports.
The binaries will usually have a version suffix to distinguish
them from the binaries supplied with the v10 OS. Then you should
be able to add the following to /etc/make.conf:

	.if !empty(.CURDIR:M/usr/ports/*) && exists(/usr/local/bin/clang33)
	CC=clang33
	CXX=clang++33
	CPP=clang-cpp33
	.endif

(This is just an assumption regarding names, please check! I don't
have access to a v10 system at the moment.)

You can "translate" this concept to clang:
