This is because the gcc compiler will automatically find things there, irrespective of what's set with -L or -I. This has been discussed many times on the list before; you can probably find more about this situation in the list archives if you're interested. If anybody knows a way we can change MacPorts base to avoid this we are all ears, but to my knowledge we do not so far know how to do this, therefore the only thing we can say is that we do not support using MacPorts while there are things in /usr/local.

We could use -nostdinc (and just have MP add in the non /usr/local stdinc directories)

It will be a pain (as has been discussed earlier), but I don't think there really is a better option. (Unless we wanted to ship our own version of gcc to build everything with - and have it configured to not search /usr/local)
