Sad to hear that, but not unexpected.
However I belive that Mac can still serve me for the 
simples task I need, which of course has not anything
to do with a direct internet connection!

I tryed to compile maports tarball with the provided
gcc (4.0), but the linker ran out of memory at final
stage.

What if I try with an older version of macports? Let's
say 2.9.3 for instance?
Nothing strictly necessary, it's just an hobby, but
it would be grate to have a sufficiently recent gcc,
ssh, git, and other small cli tools, to interact with 
my home LAN.
