Ports should never hardcode CC or use "cc" or "gcc" directly.  
Instead, they should honour ${CC} (or ${CXX} for c++).  Newer ports 
that use autoconf are, for most parts OK.  That's the older ports 
(that don't use autoconf), or ones that uses a wierd build system 
that are at risk (for example, qt3 doesn't honor ${CC} and ${CXX}).
