You should activate one of the MacPorts compilers instead of the apple
version.  mp-gcc47 and mp-gcc45 should automatically search in
/opt/local/lib for libraries.

Alternatively, you can add /opt/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
g++ main.o -lpcrecpp -o main

Good luck,
Jason
