Assuming the gcc3 you have installed is the system one (not a 
port) then building arts++ should pull in gcc2.9 as a dependency 
(also via ports) and build using that[1]. Of course that means 
you'll end up with two versions of gcc.. but well..

Also, be warned that gcc2.9 doesn't play nice with some of the 
newer compiler flags you may have in your make.conf so if the 
build fails I'd comment out any funky flags.

[1] The autoconf script if I remember correctly looks for the 
gcc295 binary and not simply gcc so it should do the right 
thing.
