Comment(by kevin.squire+macports@…):

 I can confirm that this problem is an interaction with fink. I had the
 same issue--I would describe it as the disk drive spinning down, and any
 program needing access to the disk becoming unresponsive. OTOH, anything
 not needing to access the disk still worked fine.

 Following the advise of ryandesign, I renamed my fink /sw directory, and
 gcc43 installed fine.

 It still seems strange to me that such an interaction would be as severe
 as preventing access to the disk...

 Kevin
