Comment (by kencu):

 take a look at the Portfile. It will try to stop you from installing the
 +bootstrap variant if it sees `ld64` and `cctools` are installed.
 {{{
 variant bootstrap description {Variant to break a dependency cycle on
 Tiger by first building an apple-gcc42 using host ld and cctools} {
     if {([file exists ${prefix}/bin/ld] && [file exists ${prefix}/bin/as])
 || ${os.major} > 8} {
         pre-fetch {
             ui_error "Please install this port without the bootstrap
 variant."
             error "Please install this port without the bootstrap
 variant."
         }
     }
 }}}

 It looks like you have the non-bootstrap version installed at any rate,
 based on your installed versions of `apple-gcc42`.

 IF you still had the +bootstrap version installed (many people seemed to
 still have it) then that might have been an issue. So it must be something
 else on your system.
