As the error message says, you should submit a bug report to the developers of GCC (not to MacPorts).

Note that we also have a port gcc47 for the next version of GCC already in development; you could try that and see if this is a problem that has already been fixed.

Unify powerpc keywords.

Many new versions of gcc have since been released; please file a new ticket if you have problems with a current version.
