MacPorts ports do not use the compiler you've gcc_select'd. They use the compiler the port or MacPorts specifies.

The reason why we do this is explained at length here:

Some ports may inadvertently use the compiler you've gcc_select'd; if you find such a port, please file a ticket so this problem can be fixed.
