Jeremy,
   I am referring to packages that need the gcc43 or gcc44 packages
in MacPorts to satisfy a requirement for gfortran. When I submitted
patches to FSF gcc to solve darwin10 build issues, I only did so
for the current gcc trunk (which became gcc 4.4.0). There was no
attempt made to backport the changes to gcc 4.3.x. This means any
package in MacPorts which needs gfortran will have to depend on
gcc44 or later if it is to be buildable on Snow Leopard.
