I think you have a good observation here. One way of addressing it, which would be simpler and less effort and risk, is to split the large lang/gcc ports into smaller bits, including a run-time port, once the work on this infrastructure (that Linux distributions have been using for more than ten years) is in place. In other words, have something like a gcc-runtime package that falls out of the lang/gcc port and covers all those needs. (That's not the minimum, assuming we still have something -- bet it GCC 4.2 or LLVM based in the base system -- but quite small.)
