The Fortran compiler, g77, uses a version of libf2c.a, and it may one day conflict with the FreeBSD version. Many people will have /usr/local/bin in their paths before /usr/bin and /bin. I suggest that the egcs compilers should either be installed with different names (e.g., gcc becomes egcc, g77 becomes eg77) or the port should be installed into /usr/local/egcs (possibly with symlinks in /usr/local/bin).
