I am aware of that.  Owed to a strongly voiced desire by users,
I am triggering a rebuild of lang/gcc as rarely as possible.  So,
instead of going from 4.6.4 and soon 4.7.x, I submitted an update
to 4.7.3 to portmgr for an -exp run last weekend.

Neither. :-)

Of all lang/gcc* ports, lang/gcc is the one to use (and hence keep).

And lang/gcc46, lang/gcc47,... will remain in place for a while for
use by those interested in an older version (or broken ports requiring
one) or those interested in tracker newer versions.
