Based on "man gcc_select" (with the gcc_select port not installed), I  
assume it's not possible to modify the list of compilers it can  
select. If it had been possible, I assume MacPorts would just  
piggyback on Apple's gcc_select instead of reinventing the wheel.

Configuration of the MacPorts gcc_select seems to be possible (though  
I have not tried it myself). Read "man gcc_select" (with the  
gcc_select port installed).
