I'm went to install Gorm from the ports by issuing the command sudo port install gorm...and it was going well until well its taking a whole night to

I have a Titanium G4 1GHz with 1Gb RAM so would that explain why its going so slowly? but I still don't get why installing Gorm an application can take
such a long time..

this is what the compiling output is:

Titan:~ Chris$ sudo port install gorm

[snip]

--->  Building gcc42 with target all

So all is going well until this line showed up and is taking absolute
age....what should I do? should I terminate it and try again?

gcc42 takes about 6 hours to compile on a 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4, so on your 1 GHZ PowerBook G4 I would expect it to take about 9 hours. You should also have at least 3GB of free hard drive space.

I'm afraid gorm just has a lot of dependencies [1]. It will take awhile to compile them all.
