I think you can close the PR, yes.

As for removing Java support, I think having one instance of lang/gcc* 
with Java support should be sufficient, so now with lang/gcc46 featuring 
that, can we remove that from lang/gcc45?  (That only means changing the
USE_GCC line in pkdftk, I think?

That sounds really heavy for users of pdftk, and I think we should have a 
version of lang/gcc that does not require that.  BUT, that also could be a 
special version, a slave port with some special option set that the vast 
majority of users odes not need to worry about.  Something for later, I 
guess; for now removing Java support from lang/gcc45 (and first adjusting 
pdftk) would be the next step I think?
