I looked into ports/lang/gcc33 and see that gcj is included by default, but
then again, I'll have 2 sets of the same compiler just to get gcj support if
the system compiler gets bumped. I am hoping that the maintainers could add
a switch in make.conf like "WITH_GCJ=true" for those who would want it.

Just my 2 cents,
