Comment(by adfernandes@…):

 You know, that's an excellent question... for which I have no answer. I've
 been using MacPorts for a while, and many ports support different
 compilers.

 For some of my numeric code, I actually '''need''' those compilers;
 gcc-4.4 uses OpenMP 3, for example, which is something I've been playing
 with. I'm ''guessing'' that MacPorts doesn't want to force everyone to
 installing the latest gcc, but don't really know. (Personally, I'm in
 favor of doing so... too many variants makes for configuration headaches,
 but I'm not an expert on config managment.) Hmm... a quick google doesn't
 reveal a specific MacPorts policy for this... but I do know that lots of
 ports '''do''' have options for building with different compilers.

 IMHO, the variants are worth it just to show ''how'' to build with the
 non-default gcc-4.0 compiler on Leopard.
