So, if ports is using your $PATH, it is finding gcc 3.4.6.

Easy enough to test:

mkdir /var/tmp/1stbin
echo "echo ports is using PATH" > /var/tmp/1stbin/gcc
chmod 755 /var/tmp/1stbin/gcc
PATH=/var/tmp/1stbin:$PATH

And then try rebuilding.  If it does the echo you know it is
using $PATH, so either rearrange your $PATH so that the gcc you
want is first, or change the 1stbin/gcc to be a symlink to the
gcc you want.

If it doesn't do the echo, then it is using something else to find gcc.
IIRC it uses PATH, but it has been awhile.
