gcc-4.0 is the default on Tiger and Leopard, and is available on Snow
Leopard, so you could simply add this line to the portfile:
configure.compiler gcc-4.0
You should probably preface that with a comment explaining why:
# IcedTea 1.11 doesn't compile with gcc-4.2
configure.compiler gcc-4.0
(or make the comment specific to OpenJDK and mention its version,
maybe; I'm not totally clear on the relationship between IcedTea and
OpenJDK)

Sounds like they're making progress, anyway. :)
