Nope; the warning is accurate. Having binutils installed, particularly its gas assembler, will cause many ports to fail to build. It's not a matter of prefix; ports will find an use binutils' gas, even with its "g" prefix. From "svn blame $(port file binutils)", and tracking back through the history a bit, you can learn that the warning was added in r67114.
