imp added a comment.

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, and many other folks
that had a C++ compiler based on cfront. IIRC CC was a shell script front end for cfront in at least
the cfront 2.0 and 3.0 time frame. Many ISV's compilersr picked up on this de-facto standard and
have been providing the link for a long time.
