Nothing will change on those counts by installing gnat-gcc or any  
other port. Ports will use Apple's gcc 4.0 on Tiger and Leopard and  
Apple's gcc 4.2 on Snow Leopard -- unless the port requests otherwise.

I haven't used it. Presumably you would use gnat-gcc if you need the  
special features it offers, and otherwise you would use Apple's gcc or  
one of the standard gcc4* ports.
