If it's of any interest to anyone, I've been having a go at creating a port that builds in the recommended way by downloading a bootstrap compiler and uses that to build GCC with Ada support, as the ghc port does. (Because of the way that GCC builds and installs itself with absolute path references, the only way that I can see to get that to work would be to have the bootstrap built for installation into a temporary subdirectory of /var/tmp, have that build and install GCC with Ada support on the local machine, and then delete the bootstrap compiler -- though that may mean that it won't work with trace mode on).

Why /var/tmp and not ${destroot}?
