I've run into this problem as well.  My ``solution'' was to write the
following script, which is saved as /opt/local/bin/gcclibdir:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # print the gcc library directory to stdout
    #

    case $# in
    0)	GCC=gcc
	    ;;
    1)	GCC=$1
	    ;;
    *)	echo "usage: `basename $0` [gcc]" >&2
	    exit 1
    esac

    $GCC -v 2>&1 | awk '{if (NR==1) print $4}' | sed -e 's/\/specs//'

I then have something like the following in my makefile:

    GCCLIBDIR=$(shell gcclibdir) 

    LINK.o = ld -e _start -L/opt/local/lib -L$(GCCLIBDIR) $(GCCLIBDIR)/crt1.o $(GCCLIBDIR)/crti.o /usr/ccs/lib/values-Xa.o $(GCCLIBDIR)/crtbegin.o

    LIBS = -lsocket -lnsl -lintl -ltermcap -Bstatic -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lgcc -Bdynamic -lc $(GCCLIBDIR)/crtend.o $(GCCLIBDIR)/crtn.o

Yeah, it's ugly, but it works.
