But 'FreeBSD Ports' are not 'FreeBSD' itself.

Title was clear to me - yes, perhaps more clear as you say it though.

I've ran every major BSD as a desktop OS and my first read was "what?! I knew Clang was getting good at pretending to be GCC nowadays but there's no way they've thrown it out of ports, right?!". And indeed, they haven't, but not because I read the title correctly.

The title very evidently wasn't clear to the casual reader. Today, you learned something!
