That sounds like a reasonable thing to try first.

Note that this is inside an `if {${subport} == "libstdcxx"}` block in the portfile. So in fact we're talking about the libstdcxx subport, not the gcc47 port.

You'll need to rebuild libstdcxx, not gcc47. The command to do so:

sudo port -n upgrade --force libstdcxx
