And where is that “gcc”? If it’s in /opt/local/bin then that’s fine; you can use “port select gcc” to select any gcc you want. However if you’re saying that /usr/bin/gcc was a symlink to MacPorts gcc 4.7, then that’s a problem. On Mavericks /usr/bin/gcc should be a small stub program that calls the real compiler. If that’s not what you have, then you should restore it from your backups or perhaps reinstalling the Xcode command line tools would put it back the way it should be.
