Speaking from a well-known point for me, namely TenDRA, no.

One of the things I want to get done in the coming weeks is making the
entire build more friendly to switching compilers by a simple entry in
make.conf and have the build worry about the details.

TenDRA can compile a great deal of the userland utilities, but I still
need to add a whole lot of c99 functionality.

ICC should be almost a drop in replacement.  I saw a PR about adding
hooks for icc in the build.  I'll take a look at that again and probably
add it.
