Are you sure they all don't build on 10.5? I seem to remember at least
one case where 4.2 worked better for Tiger and/or Leopard users than a
newer version.

If you do end up deleting them, remember to delete all the references to
them in other ports. There are quite a few that have non-default gcc4X
variants that add deps.

Two of these are already erroring out early on the OS versions they
don't work on. The other should do the same if not deleted.
