Skipping those components gives me a destroot directory that is 185Mb big, as opposed to the 359Mb from the binary package for 10.9 . I must add that I build with optflags="-Os -march=core2", though; -Os overriding GCC's default -O2 may have made some difference too. Still, a pretty significant reduction in size that might interest users who install gcc only because they need a Fortran compiler. Ports that used to depend simply on port:gccXY because they need either Java or Fortran will need to change to using a path: style dependency on a representative component; that should call for installation of the "uncut" port if that component is missing.
