I don't believe it's desirable.

I filed the bug report about llvm-gcc42's /opt/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib here:

http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20889

Unfortunately the maintainer has not reacted to the problem.

My recommendation is to not install llvm-gcc42 until this issue is resolved. If anyone can assist in resolving this issue, it would be appreciated.
