Comment:

 See `port contents gcc46` for a list of files the port installed. On my
 system this lists the binaries to run for gcc46:

 {{{
 :) clemens at cSchlepptop:~$ port contents gcc46 | head -n7
 Port gcc46 contains:
   /opt/local/bin/c++-mp-4.6
   /opt/local/bin/cpp-mp-4.6
   /opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.6
   /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.6
   /opt/local/bin/gcov-mp-4.6
   /opt/local/bin/gfortran-mp-4.6
 }}}

 There's also the `port select` mechanism as described in `man 1 port`,
 section `USER TARGETS`, subsection `select` that would allow you to run
 `gcc` and get the macports gcc 4.6. You would probably want to run `sudo
 port select --set gcc mp-gcc46` for that.

 This is not a bug in MacPorts. Trac is for bug reports. For support,
 please write to the [http://www.macports.org/contact.php#Lists MacPorts
