I've seen quite a few of these commits and do not understand the purpose
of them.  "USE_GCC=3D4.4+" means that this port needs gcc-4.4 or higher to
build/run.  That has not changed and if I have gcc-4.4 already installed
then this port should continue to build and run without issues.

Making gcc-4.6 be the default is a one-line change in bsd.gcc.mk which
is completely independent of the ports that have USE_GCC=3Dx.y+

Potentially, a later version of this port may need a later version of
gcc (or the maintainer may not have an earlier version of gcc to test
this part against).  At that point it would make sense to change the
USE_GCC line as part of an update.  This change just appears to be
needless repository churn.
