Having found this out the hard way ... here is the answer:

1.  Using gcc_select (-l to list available versions)
2.  Using configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.4 on the end of your "port install"
commands.

My Experience

GCC44 is not well accepted under OS X.  Finding sources that it can compile is a
wild goose chase.  I'm constantly hitting the "configure: error: C  
> compiler cannot create executables" error, on GCC43, GCC44, and GCC45 under
macports 1.8.2
