Yes, it's marked as epoch 2:

INSERT INTO "ports"
VALUES(39,'gcc44','',NULL,'/opt/local/var/macports/software/gcc44/4.4.1_0',2,'4.4.1',0,'','','installed',1252817603,'image','',0,'','');

I can't recall bumping the epoch, but this is from at least 7 months ago...

How can I be of help in tracking that down?
