Having switched to Snow Leopard (10.6.1) for my white Macbook (Intel
Core 2 Duo) I belatedly realized I needed to reinstall Macports.
I've followed the migration instructions, i.e. installing the latest
version of XCode (3.2, 1610) and of Macports (1.8.0), then cleaning
removing old ports and re-installing ports I want to keep.
My only problem so far has been trying to reinstall pdftk, which has
a dependency of gcc42. Here's the error I keep getting for gcc42 -
any help appreciated:

There is a ticket about gcc42 build failures on Snow Leopard but the
error is different than yours:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20933
Are you trying to build universal, or for the i386 arch, or for the
usual x86_64 arch?
As the maintainer of pdftk, I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it
if gcc42 cannot be made to compile on Snow Leopard, since pdftk cannot
be updated to use a newer gcc unless the developers rewrite it a bit,
and the developers don't seem particularly interested in it anymore:
