Yes and no.  lang/gcc49 was pruned end of April, but lang/gcc48, 
which is even older, is still in use by two ports, though at least 
one is being worked on.

I actually have a script running twice a week which checks such 
dependencies.  Here is its relevant output:

  2 refer to GCC 4.8.
  sysutils/memtest86+/Makefile:USE_GCC=	4.8
  sysutils/uefi-edk2-bhyve/Makefile:USE_GCC=	4.8

  0 refer to GCC 5.

  1 refer to GCC 6.
  print/pdftk/Makefile:USE_GCC=	6

You're welcome, Alexey.  Though the problem is users (!= danfe)
who sometimes use those older versions and then report all sorts
of interesting challenges.
