Yes, this did the trick -- with one caveat:
I had to edit the file /sw/etc/apt/source.list to refer to the 10.4
distribution as well, as it still was reading files from the 10.2-gcc3.3
package list too.  I just substituted 10.2-gcc3.3 with 10.4 everywhere.  Then
things worked as advertised.  Thanks for the help,
