I noticed it is using -O3 in the configure flags which is good, but it was using gcc-4.2 to build. I have the gcc44 variant selected and that is the default, so it's possible that is the problem but maybe I'm just misunderstanding the gcc4x variants.

Well the portfile used gcc-4.2 from Xcode on my setup. This based on examining the debug log.
