USB-C does natively support DisplayPort as an alternate mode.

Whether your particular device does is not a given, though. the 12" MacBook definitely does, the specs specifically call out the native support:

The specs for the MacBook Pro also purport DisplayPort capability:

DisplayPort is one of several options, but I wouldn't call them native because you can't rely on any of them being supported.
