That is strange. As an alternative approach, it might be "easier" for the masses if we had a package of a bootstrapped GCC available somewhere. I imagine there must be somewhere?
I'm not aware of any such package being available anywhere.
The Apple-provided developer tools (which include gcc) are a well-documented requirement to run MacPorts. And they are easy to install; they come with the installer DVD for OS X or can be downloaded for free from Apple's website. That's about as "easy for the masses" as it can get.
Is there something in your setup that precludes you from installing Apple's dev tools?

I'm new to OS X, so bare with me as I figure it all out. Can you provide me the link to the dev tools ? We have the install DVDs at work - I'm at home today. I didn't realize these were freely available (hence my question). Thanks.
