Looks good, gVim's last choice (7x13) is there.

Not ~/.vimrc, but ~/.gvimrc. However, I'd say this is window$ version,
('behave mswin' etc.). You should carefully rewrite this file.

You might want to recompile the port with gtk2 support, for example:
# portupgrade -f -m 'WITH_GTK2=3Dyes' vim
(BTW, your vim is 7.0.224, whilst the last version is 7.0.241 -- not a
bad idea to upgrade your ports first and then to upgrade vim.)
There is gvimrc example, /usr/local/share/vim/vim70/gvimrc_example.vim.
You can copy that file to ~/.gvimrc and edit it. Additionally, I
attached the stripped version of my gVim config (gvimrc-nikola). You
will see there several if clausules for default font setting since the
syntax depends on how you compiled vim. In your case (with default
options), gVim should read "x11" section.

Ok. So,
(1) try to use gvimrc I sent (of course, check if you actually have
fonts that are listed there), or try the official example;
(2) try to upgrade vim, consider enabling gtk2 support (gVim will
behave as a full gtk2 app then)
(3) try to remove all old config files you have, including system-wide
ones. ':version' should show you where they are.
