That seems like an issue with MacPorts itself.  If a newer gcc was required,
it would have built it as part of the dependencies and automatically used
it.  I also think MacPorts will force the build process to use the XCode
compilers (as it usually does for packages that don't require a newer gcc or
fortran).

That said, I don't know how well MacPorts supports the PowerPC architectures
(on Tiger/Leopard) anymore, and I don't have a machine to test that on.

All the best,
Jason
