Really interesting post and replies, thankyou. I love it when something
provokes the considered responses of extremely well informed people.
I would just say that I really don't consider the OP's concerns to be
tinfoilhattery. In light of recent revelations, it would actually be
irresponsible to

As someone else pointed out, why worty about the compiler? The OS is the very
first thing you need to worry about.
And how do you know that those certifying are not ordered to secrecy and
overlook nsa backdoors? ;)

I would suggest the MacPorts community should think about this and evaluate

Continuing this thread which was initiated in May of this year (2013), some
things in the world have revealed themselves such as the NSA leaks by Ed
Snowden. In particular the leaks of a few days ago were a *big* deal, as
Bruce Schneier has eloquently written about here:

Hello all,
Its been some time since I looked more deeply at the GCC ports. On a new
Mac recently I installed MacPorts and then specifically installed gcc47
into my port prefix path /opt/local
I looked today and realized there are several binaries (in /opt/local/bin),
such as:
gcc-ranlib-mp-4.7

Note that Xcode 4.2 and later do not include any version of gcc. However if
you install the command line tools (which you must do in order to use
MacPorts) then /usr/bin/gcc does exist, as a symlink to llvm-gcc-4.2. I
assume as of Xcode 4.7
