You still need to install Xcode Developer Tools [1] to build ports. It
does not only provide the Xcode application and compilers, but also
additional headers and frameworks. Note that Apple gcc is highly patched
to provide more features than a usual gcc build, for example creating
binaries for multiple archs in one step which is required for universal
builds.
