Comment:

 Since gcc42 does not work on Snow Leopard anymore, you will need to use
 either gcc47 or gcc45. pdftk is written in java and requires a java
 compiler, which is only available in the gcc ports (not in Xcode, not in
 the clang or llvm-gcc ports).

 It's not trivial to add or remove variants from a port based on OS version
 or other criteria, especially when those variants reference (conflict
 with) one another. The current behavior is pretty good already in that it
 does correctly inform you what the problem is.

 pdftk will stop offering a gcc42 option; see #34275. gcc42 will be removed
 from MacPorts entirely; see #33919.
