No joke. Take a look at the Makefile:

.if ${ARCH} == "alpha"
BROKEN=		Build fails on alpha
.elif ${OSVERSION} >= 700042
# GCC-XML has some constructs that GCC 4.2 does not like. Namely,
# the use of casted-pointer-dereferences as an lvalue to post-increment
# operations.
USE_GCC= 3.4
CONFIGURE_ENV+=	CC=${LOCALBASE}/bin/gcc34 \
		CPP="${CC} -E" \
		CXX=${LOCALBASE}/bin/g++34
MAKE_ENV+=	CC=${LOCALBASE}/bin/gcc34 \
		CPP="${CC} -E" \
		CXX=${LOCALBASE}/bin/g++34
.endif



I've done some more experimenting. In order to make the switch you 
really have to uninstall the current boost-python port and then install 
boost-python-libs. Also, the Makefile for boost-python-libs would be 
really easy to modify with a bunch of .if defined (WITH_PYSTE) .endif 
sections. I actually made something along those lines while upgrading 
today, but I'm now totally swamped with work stuff and have no time to 
formalize it and submit a patch to the maintainer.

If you don't install pyste, you don't need gccxml. I .if 'ed out the 
RUN_DEPENDS that mentions gccxml and installed the port that way no 
problem. No pyste, no gccxml and no gcc34.
