GCC Version

[Jason Swails]

Yes, it's certainly possible.  You have to install one of the newer GCC
packages (gcc43, gcc44, gcc45, or gcc46), then install the gcc_select
package to toggle between them.

To make things easier, you could also install glib2 through MacPorts as
well, and it will build the necessary components for you:

sudo port install glib2

Hope this helps,
Jason
