Entirely normal. Note that they are not available as "gcc" by default;
instead there will be e.g. /opt/local/bin/gcc-mp-4.7.

"gcc" will by default be /usr/bin/gcc which, depending on what version of
Xcode or Command Line Tools is present, is either an ancient llvm-gcc-4.2
or a wrapper for Clang. Also note that most ports will default to using
Xcode's clang directly on a recent (10.8 and up, and at least some 10.7
depending on Xcode version) system.

Can I specify which version I would like macports to use?

Specify configure.compiler=something (e.g.
configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.7), but using this is a bad idea unless
you are specifically trying to diagnose a problem; in this case you should
report a bug against the port at https://trac.macports.org.

What port is causing problems, and can you provide a full build log (that
is, after running "port clean" on the port in question so that no leftovers
from a previous build are around)?
