I checked the portfile ("port cat libtorrent") and it includes the  
following line:

configure.env	CC=${prefix}/bin/gcc-dp-3.4 CXX=${prefix}/bin/g++-dp-3.4

This has the effect of forcing the use of gcc3 which is causing your  
problem. However, the line was probably added for a good reason. (The  
Subversion log shows the line was added by mww in revision 17447 on  
2006-04-12 along with other changes to update the port from 0.7.0-1  
to 0.9.0.)

Has the maintainer of the port (toby at opendarwin) seen that bug or  
commented on the patches?
