The port builds fine with gcc43 (for me on 10.4.11 PPC) so I propose to allow the user to select gcc43 or gcc42. I suggest that gcc43 should be the default since that is the latest stable version of gcc.
The various R libraries link with many more other libraries than are declared as dependencies in the port. I suggest including all those libraries in the dependency list. Alternately, you could add configure arguments to instruct R not to link with those other libraries, if that's preferred.
I'll attach a text file showing what R links with, and a suggested patch for the portfile. Let me know what you think.

There was a message on the R-SIG-MAC list (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2008-April/004776.html) a while ago saying that OS X 10.5.3 is going to include a stable gfortran. If this turns out to be true then I want to get rid of the dependency on gccXX altogether. Since anyone using the R port presumably already has gcc42 installed I don't want to make them update to gcc43 only to have the dependency removed in a few weeks. Perhaps we could leave gcc42 as the default for now - I can make gcc43 the default for 10.4.x in a revision after 10.5.3 is available.
Otherwise I am happy with all the changes you made. Thanks.

I committed my patch in r36650, changing it as you suggested so that gcc42 is the default.
In a later version you can change the default to gcc43 with no impact to existing users, since they will have still have the gcc42 variant selected and will thus continue to use gcc42, while new users will get gcc43.
