If you only have Cisco VPN there, I would think you would not  
encounter any problems unless you are building software in MacPorts  
that is trying to link with a Cisco VPN library. But in the case  
originally reported, you had more than just Cisco VPN in /usr/local;  
you also had an older version of the GNU Multiprocessing library  
(GMP) which was causing a problem because it prevented the gcc44 port  
from using the correct version of the GMP library that MacPorts had  
installed.
