 before - is that right?

 Your use of `port select` should not interfere with how ports build. It
 sometimes does, and when it does that's a bug to be fixed. In this case,
 selecting gcc won't interfere, because we can see that the compiler is
 being used by its full correct path `/usr/bin/g++-4.2`. Problem only arise
 when ports build using a generic compiler name like `g++` since that's
 what `port select gcc` changes.

 That should be it.
 /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/irc/weechat/work
 is a symlink to
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_irc_weechat/weechat/work
 so the actual path of that file on disk is
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_irc_weechat/weechat/work/weechat-4.2.2/CMakeLists.txt.

 cmake may cache things. It may be enough to delete the file
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_irc_weechat/weechat/work/build/CMakeCache.txt
 after changing CMakeLists.txt and before trying to install again.

 Alternately, start from a clean slate with `sudo port clean weechat` and
 `sudo port extract weechat`, then make the change to CMakeLists.txt, then
 `sudo port install weechat`.
