These variables are necessary for normal use of MacPorts, e.g. to
compile non-MacPorts software.

Unsetting them in the configure script is not sufficient. You have
to make sure that they are not set when the compiler is executed.
So, in Mk/dports.autoconf.mk, there should also be:

CC                      = env -u C_INCLUDE_PATH -u LIBRARY_PATH gcc
TCL_CC                  = env -u C_INCLUDE_PATH -u LIBRARY_PATH gcc -pipe
SHLIB_LD                = env -u C_INCLUDE_PATH -u LIBRARY_PATH cc -dynamiclib ${LDFLAGS}

BTW, I reported the gcc bug here:

Last time I checked, the gcc from Xcode didn't look at
/usr/local/include.

If ld doesn't look in /usr/local/lib when told to do so: has this
bug reported to Apple?

BTW, some (all?) Linux distributions have the same problem, and
I reported it in the Debian BTS, but no-one is decided to fix it. :(
