Building macports should put /opt/local/bin in your PATH before anything else in your .bash_profile or .profile file (I don't recall which), so unless you've changed something that should already be there.
Secondly, I'd suggest installing gcc_select to manage different compiler versions. You certainly can play with the links yourself to get it to work, but why not let a package that already exists do it? ;) I use it to toggle between many versions (4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6, in addition to the apple versions). Also, who uses a java compiler? Why not just use a JRE to run java programs? From what I've heard, gcj is lacking in full feature support anyway (so it doesn't seem like no java + fortran support really matters much, and I use both languages).
