That's the thing. gcc30 port, essentially, installs a copy of the
compiler already available as part of the base. But the base is missing
gcj (the port does too for now), so one would be forced to add the port.
If it were possible (through a port) to add just gcj (and accompanying
libraries) to integrate with the already present gcc and other bits, but
it is not :-( Even the things like libiberty and libbfd are not
installed...
Can we have those installed, at least, to ease the work of the future
porter?
