I think you're probably right. I'll Cc gcc43's maintainer. In the  
future, you should probably file tickets in our bug tracker when you  
discover problems, making sure to assign the ticket to the port's  
maintainer.

You can edit the portfile locally by typing "port edit gcc43" (or  
possibly "sudo port edit gcc43") assuming you have set up your EDITOR  
environment variable correctly.
