Yes!

And in a world hopefully not too far away at one point we'll just
have a gcc-runtime port that comes from the _newest_ stable version 
of GCC in the ports tree and is used by all other versions.

(In my day job, we have been doing this for years.  Once we have
several binary packages from one port, that ought to be relatively
straightforward.)
