New description:

 {{{
 /var/root$ sudo port install gcc46
 --->  Computing dependencies for gcc46
 --->  Cleaning gcc46
 /var/root$ gcc46
 bash: gcc46: command not found
 /var/root$ mp-gcc46
 bash: mp-gcc46: command not found
 }}}

 I have also searched the whole drive and cant find the freaking executable
 anywhere! this is the most obscure installation system I have worked with!

Comment:

 To find out what files a port installs, use e.g.:

 {{{
 port contents gcc46
 }}}

 You should find that the name of the executable you are looking for is
 "gcc-mp-4.6".

 For further assistance with how to use MacPorts, you'll usually get
 quicker help by writing to the macports-users mailing list.
