No, boot0 is written in assembly, and run through the regular (GNU)
assembler.  Neither gcc nor clang do anything more except calling the
linker.

The only component (in the whole clangbsd src tree) which still needs to
be compiled with gcc is boot2, which otherwise ends up just a little too
big, and doesn't fit.  This is being worked on, but it isn't very
critical, really.  Note that clangbsd automatically uses gcc for this
specific code, unless you override it manually.
