Is there a specific reason why you did it this way, instead of what we usually do, which is to blacklist the compilers that don't work and let MacPorts choose the next-best alternative? I know gcc* isn't in the list of compilers MacPorts will fall back to. Do we maybe just need to add gcc6 to the fallback list on PowerPC?
