That’s not a configuration problem, it is just a matter of what exactly the 
port upgrade has done. Try to update manually (port -v install atlas +gcc45).

Atlas can take a very long time to build if you don’t choose one of the GCC 
compilers with x86_64 arch. Any other combination (use of clang, or non x86_64 
build) triggers the timing mechanism: Atlas finds out by itself what is the 
best set of parameters for each kernel by compiling hundreds of combinations 
and measuring their efficiency. This is a long process (it took around five 
hours on the Lion Buildbot), but guarantees near optimality on a per machine 
(CPU, memory…) per compiler basis at the end.

If you use clang and build universal, for instance, compiling Atlas might take 
over ten hours if you have a Core2Duo machine.
