It seems that "configuredistcc yes" does the trick from macports.conf,  
I did nothing else (and running distccmontext I saw that the  
compilation was indeed distributed).  But yes, there are means to play  
symlinks treaks to have gcc bounce to "distcc gcc", yet I don't like  
that.

Really, I just wish I had a simple means (= not by having to specify  
it on each port command line) to specify CC and CXX.  Or else, I would  
prefer that the hard coded values be fully qualified (/usr/bin/i686- 
apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1) instead of short (/usr/bin/gcc-4.0).  In that  
case I have nothing special to do to use distcc with macports.
