However, apparently there are some problems building a vanilla version of gcc 4.2 on Snow Leopard, such that doing so was disabled in the port in order to avoid confusion and wasted time on failed builds.

I'm not familiar with building ada support in gcc, nor with the testsuite you mentioned, so I don't know if there are any good reasons why the port does not already do this. You could ask the port's maintainer.
