This is a Leopard 10.5.8 system on PPC with the following parameters:

X11 is "XQuartz 2.1.6 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple33)
Leopard version is 10.5.8
MacPorts is now 2.1.1 since I wiped out /opt and reinstalled MacPorts 
from .dmg.

What Xcode version do you have?  gcc-4.2 is *ancient* and should only be used as a last resort, or if you're on an old OS (in which case I'd recommend installing a newer compiler with MacPorts and using it instead).
