I just removed the USE_GCC3 definition from devel/ddd - packages
should not set USE_GCC2/3, they are user variables to indicate "I want
to use pkgsrc gcc2/3".

we should definitely provide a way for packages to specify a minimum
version of gcc. I've started some work on this, but it's far from
complete.
