I looked into the situation and think the following should work nicely
given the constraints of the FreeBSD Ports Collection in handling
dependencies and creating several packages from one build:
1. Make gnat-gcc44 dependent on gcc44 itself by means of USE_GCC=4.4.
2. Have math/lapack as another dependency to gnat-gcc44.
3. Build the minimum necessary as part of gnat-gcc44. Do not install
using `make install`, but copy the relevant files to $PREFIX/bin,
$PREFIX/lib,... manually.
That way the Ports Collection as such will use gcc44 and you will add
the GNAT support from gnat-gcc44 (and only that) on top.
