MacPorts naming convention is to replace +'s in project names with x's, since +'s are not legal in port names. It's unfortunate that there is a name collision among these projects. I am not sure what the correct solution is.

The description of the current libstdcxx port should probably be updated to include ""libstdc++". Maybe a future port for Apache libstdcxx could be called apache_libstdcxx or apache_stdcxx.

I *highly* doubt we'll ever suport libcxx which is why this is really a non-issue.
