I just discovered why that is.  The port needs to build and install
egcs's versions of "crtbegin{,S}.o" and "crtend{,S}.o".  Then the
exceptions seem to work fine.  To hack it by hand, find the linux
part of the "gcc/configure" script, and locate the line

    extra_parts="...."

Add a copy of that line to the freebsdelf section.

I'll put together a precise fix for the port soon.
