Right, specifically /usr/local/lib/libgmp.a:

Because of inevitable interference like this, it's not supported to  
have anything in /usr/local while using MacPorts. Rename /usr/local  
to something else, like /usr/local-off, then clean gcc44 (sudo port  
clean gcc44) and try again. I recommend you do not install software  
manually e.g. into /usr/local, and instead use MacPorts to install  
any software you need.
