As gcc49 would usually only be necessary for building, that would be
expected. You can always remove pure build dependencies without breaking
any installed ports. However, they might be reinstalled again on the
next upgrade if they are still required.

Unrequested ports without dependents can be removed with the command
'sudo port reclaim' which should be used regularly.
