Yes, I should be able to, but I am not. gcc43 and gcc44 want to install ecj to the same location, making the gcc43 and gcc44 ports conflict with one another, which would not be acceptable. I could not find an option to tell gcc43 or gcc44 to install ecj in a different location, therefore ecj support was never added to gcc43 or gcc44. Would love to fix this, if you know how and can supply a patch. See:

gcc45 is not a problem for pdftk, on Snow Leopard at least. (Fink's) gcc45 is actually the version of gcc pdftk ships hardcoded to use; I had to patch this to be able to use other versions.
